Thanks for the pointer to Sabine's retweet. The Quantum Bullshit Detector
(https://twitter.com/BullshitQuantum) looks interesting. Already I've found an

I need to study it more to give my opinion on it, but some general comments:
a) I expect the mainstream physics community will reject it. As a start I
noticed Sabine Hossenfelder retweeted a "bullshit"-tweet about it.
b) I'm a big fan of Stephen Wolfram and in general have confidence in his
Here's a nice lecture by Carlo Rovelli on his development of Spin Foams
with Lee Smolin. Great to see the intro to his lecture by Penrose:

At time 41:33, you can check out how space is defined as the volume around
a vertex. Steve Smith and
Very cool. I'd (incompetently, obviously) guess the difference would be that
Wolfram's trying to construct the universe, whereas Baez was trying to describe
it. Both involve time/iteration. But my lunch period is over and I have to
