Wolfram Institute Proposes Ruliad-Based Computational Metaphysics

The Wolfram Institute recently received a grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to pursue 'Computational Metaphysics' and published a conceptual piece proposing a formal scientific approach centered on the ruliad. It describes a discrete hypergraph of identical 'atoms of space' updated by fixed rules whose causal graph encodes spacetime, with time as computation and causal invariance producing relativity-like frame dependence. The framework aims to unify philosophical views and ground fundamental physics.
