It is just physics. It ignores the mind-body problem, and probably used implicitly, like all physicists (and they are right to this when doing physics) the mind-brae identity thesis (which is locally true, but globally false when we assume mechanism, as Wolfram seems to do (and do in its “new science” book). I am not a physicist, so I cannot really judge the originality, nor the importance. But seen from metaphysics/theology, it missed the qualia, and does not address the (logical) origin of the physical laws.
