If Wolfram is as smart as he thinks he is, and/or his work as promising as he thinks it is, then wouldn't you expect some recognition of this from other theoretical physicists? Yet, there seems to be none. He seems to have generated his own empirical playground whose output he can squint at, rather like a haruspex, and see parallels to ... pretty much anything he wants to see.
