    I'm not sure why comments mention CA. His physics theory and the multicomputation stuff does not make use of CA's (at least no more than any other abstract machine).

    Didn't he invent a numbering schema for classifying CA? That should count as an achievement.

    Simple rules do not necessarily mean simple behavior. Explore where observation leads in various different systems and rules.
