 If a cellular automaton is a model satisfying this hypothesis, then “underneath the laws of physics as we know them today it could be that there lies a simple program from which all the known laws (…) emerge” (Wolfram 2002: 434). If, as we have seen above, currently there is no agreement on the issue whether physical reality is fundamentally continuous or discrete, at least the Finite Nature Hypothesis seems to be a no less falsifiable prediction (see Fredkin 1990) than many speculative metaphysical pictures. Unfortunately, although we have attempts to recapture field theory within CA theory (see, e.g., Svozil 1987, Lee 1986), there is no agreed-upon derivation of today’s continuous physics within a CA framework; it is therefore safe to say that no party has a clear advantage here.
