Time and space probably belong to consciousness, rather than the real world. The objective "true" reality may be utterly incomprehensible in its complexity, but we can imagine a "slice" of that reality that arbitrarily defines space and time so that the interior of that slice follows some reasonable rules. That slice of reality can be thought of as a high-level consciousness that defines rules of our physics. Other slices of the same reality are possible, GR-like or QM-like, including those that are computational and discrete in nature. One universe, but many interpretations. Within each slice of reality, it may be possible to define smaller subsets of reality, corresponding to smaller consciousness, down to the human or even more primitive levels. So what Wolfram is describing may be true, objectively, to the observers of a computational slice of the universe, just like the MWI may be simultaneously true to the observers of the MWI slice of reality.
