Wolfram Physics is based on hypergraphs.
Why?
What is it about hypergraphs that might make them a better model of the universe than, say, strings of characters, or cellular automata, or Turing machines?
When I asked Jonathan Gorard this question, he gave an answer that was deeply insightful.
It’s such a core question, so fundamental to why we should take the Wolfram model seriously, that I’ve listened to Jonathan’s answer over and over.
