It's an interesting theory but how many times can Wolfram say 'predictions are coming' and then not deliver without eventually getting dismissals?
Feynman once said it is trivially easy to create new theories. What's difficult is creating a new theory that is not only consistent with every observation of the world that has come before, but also that makes useful new predictions.
String theory at least makes new predictions like supersymmetry. So far Wolfram has described how GR and QM can be derived from his model but only in a hand-wavy way, he hasn't come up with the 'update rules' that actually produce anything similar to GR/QM. Just as string theory has so many free parameters that some argue it can basically model anything, Wolfram's method arguably has infinitely more free parameters and lacks specificity without concrete information on what the hypergraph's update rules are.
