The hypergraph is the universe.

So if we want to see the universe, we need only draw the hypergraph.

The question is: how?

The nodes and edges of the hypergraph are determined by the rules of Wolfram Physics. But how we draw those nodes and edges is not determined.

The drawing of the hypergraph is not the universe, it’s just a way of visualizing the universe.

So I asked Jonathan Gorard how we might decide where to position the nodes and edges when we draw the hypergraph, so that we can see what’s really going on in Wolfram Physics.
