"The structure of all computations". Lets go physicalist even on this one. Where does such a mechanism exist? Is it dark matter? the area beyond the Hubble Volume, the unborn minds of humans and AI yet to come? Phase space???? Hilbert Space, Anti-De Sitter space??? A future Omega Point, a current or future multiverse?? Mar-a-largo in a secret safer? I like Wolframs concepts, and have no horse in these discussions, save what my be construed as the existential, because, that as a meta goal is seemingly, practical ultimately.

It appears to have many similarities with the type of physical reality that emerges from then universal dovetailer, with new ways of explaining it and some new insights. It is similar, but I think it is more concretely defined. Wolfram describes the collection of all formally describable rule based systems, leading to a complex structure he calls the Ruliad: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2021/11/the-concept-of-the-ruliad/ Unlike Tegmark's idea, Wolfram explains how this structure is vastly interconnected and observers within this structure observer certain regularities which are necessarily tied to the own nature of the observer (their mind and sense organs, etc.), which ultimately defines a set of regularities (the laws of physics) for that observer (or observers of that same class). I think there is more similarity between Wolfram's ideas, and those of Bruno Marchal and Markus P. Müller, which framed things algorithmically and showed how laws of physics can be extracted from the structure of all computations.
