This conversation has given me lots to think about and I was ready to let it trail off.  But wanted to answer you just out of respect.<p>My mistake was thinking that he was proposing something about the nature of physical reality.  Ie. that physical reality was literally a network of interconnected nodes at its fundamental level.  Something along the lines of macroscopic -&gt; atomic -&gt; sub atomic -&gt; wolfram-nodal.  A la, string theory, et. al.<p>From the replies here, I gather this has nothing to do with physical reality.. he&#x27;s not describing how this nodal network might be implemented in reality... just that it must be, because the predictions come out correctly.
