This this is the approach that Stephen Wolfram's physics project is exploring. In their model, everything is made of space, and space is a hypergraph.

It isn't really. Wolfram's approach is relatively unique in that he bases it entirely on graphs alone, and no other structure.

There are several hints in more "standard" physics that a possible TOE could be based a model where you can think of the "stuff" of the universe more like a crystal with defects.


Interesting. Then what is a "node" in a graph? What is made of? Could it be a graph?


A 'crystal with defects' sounds like a graph to me, but I'm only a dilettante.


...and I just read your bio - ha!
