It seems problematic to disentangle the complexity of an entity from the complexity of the process which produced it. If we define complexity as the Kolmogorov complexity, the two are equivalent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity?wprov=sf...) Rather, I interpret Wolfram's idea as: Surprisingly complex patterns can be produced by simple/concise rules. In my interpretation, the ultimate example of this would be the unfolding of everything that has ever happened as the consequence of the laws of physics, and some initial condition of the universe.
