yeah wolfram's famous idea (which is sort of the whole point behind a new kind of science) is this computational equivalence principle which is that most things that are at a certain level of computational complexity are equivalent to each other[1]. Which may be true in some limited sense but is definitely not true in the general sense that he tries to imply. This has led him to saying things like you can implement the whole universe "in 4 lines of the wolfram language" even though mathematica (which is in the universe and implements the wolfram language) takes more than 4 lines of code to implement.
Boring mathematicians of the school of actual concrete formalisations level the criticism that his Principle of Computational Equivalence is never given a formal definitive statement and is more of an aspirational feel good kind of fuzzy wuzzy thingy.
