I think the above comment perfectly summarises the situation.

There has been a lot of fanfare but no action coming from Wolfram’s research.

It’s even more disconnected from physical reality than the more abstract mathematical corners of string theory.

The hard part of a TOE is showing how it maps to reality, how the theory constrains what we can measure in future experiments, etc… This is the part that Wolfram keeps skipping over.

I’ve had an interest in theories of everything (TOEs) and I’ve read through hundreds of papers from serious publications to gibberish put out by mentally ill cranks. I’ve developed a checklist to filter out the noise. Wolfram’s theories don’t tick any boxes! Even crazy rants on some personal blog written in random fonts with ten text colors do better.
