Sounds like marketing speak to me. "our product is convenient and easy to use unlike everything before." The technical people at wolfram have probably never seen this thing on the website ;p
The basic idea was:
- take a bunch of existing CS theory
- spin it into elaborate framework, supported by what is basically just a thought experiment
- rant and rave for PAGES about what a genius you are, and how much better you are than the same scientists you just plagiarized (while aligning yourself with famous scientists such as Newton).
This seems eerily similar.
For anyone interested, there was an Amazon review ( http://www.amazon.com/review/RUGSCP3XBNBUV/ref=cm_cr_rdp_per... ) that actually seemed to track down precisely what Wolfram "borrowed" from when writing his book.
