OK, so I started reading the post and initially had the same feeling. May this have been one of those things where he really leaves his pet peeves behind and contributes something?
But then his lingo started to creep in. Computational irreducibility, linking to how he invented the concept. Rurial space. Geez man, does everything really have to be a promotion of the cult-like New Kind of Science stuff? Full of links to his own unrelated blog posts? It's sad.
I'd really have liked to like the article, he clearly put a lot of effort into it. But I had to stop reading. You can't tell for sure where real explainations end and where his unproven claims start about "knowing" that the universe is just computational and everything just based on some rule from a cellular automaton.
And I've gotten conditioned to never start a sentence with "OK, so". It's now giving me the jiffies.
