I read another Wolfram blog post where he answered those criticisms.  <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.stephenwolfram.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;05&#x2F;living-a-paradigm-shift-looking-back-on-reactions-to-a-new-kind-of-science&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.stephenwolfram.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;05&#x2F;living-a-paradigm-shi...</a><p>I don&#x27;t think Bell&#x27;s theorem raises a problem in either LQG and CDT because they have the traditional quantum theory built into them.  They are not deterministic theories like Wolfram&#x27;s.  Bell&#x27;s theorem discounts the possibility of quantum (as it is observed) if there were no long range connections defying locality.
