Do the ideas of Fredkin and Wolfram work for string theory?

     What is the most important question that anyone can ask about string theory? What are the puzzling empirical facts that require string theory for their explanation? Should string theory explain dark energy, dark matter, Guth’s inflation, and something else? If general relativity’s model of the event horizon is not entirely correct, then are incredibly energetic photons likely to be scattered randomly throughout galaxies?

Consider 4 speculative ideas.

   At a small enough scale, there is a Fredkin-Wolfram conglomerate with a Wolfram updating parameter and a set of mathematical axioms. This system is the Fredkin-Wolfram information process for the multiverse.

   The event horizon as described by general relativity is incorrect – instead there is an ultra-weird digitization of the event horizon. This digitization causes an ultra-weird turbulence that predicts the existence of ultra-high-energy photons that prove the existence of the Fredkin-Wolfram information process for the multiverse.

    Sufficiently near to black holes, both energy and spacetime break down and mix together into a Fredkin-Wolfram conglomerate. The Wolfram updating parameter involves an alternate universe decomposition that controls how alternate universes change relative to each other in string dynamics.

    The Fredkin-Wolfram information process governs string dynamics by gradually building up energy, space, and time from the ultimate mathematical determinism. Alternate universes and abstract mathematical determinism underlie apparent randomness and quantum weirdness.

One thing that’s kind of inevitable is that very few familiar features of our universe would be immediately visible in the program – I mean there just isn’t room. – Stephen Wolfram

One can give good reasons why reality cannot at all be represented by a continuous field. From the quantum phenomena it appears to follow with certainty that a finite system of finite energy can be completely described by a finite set of numbers (quantum numbers). This does not seem to be in accordance with a continuum theory, and must lead to an attempt to find a purely algebraic theory for the description of reality. But nobody knows how to obtain the basis of such a theory. – Albert Einstein, “The Meaning of Relativity”

     Does any predictive value in quantum gravitational theory result from a failure either by quantum electrodynamics or by general relativity theory? Does string theory need empirical discoveries that limit the logical possibilities?

No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious. – George Bernard Shaw

    Is string theory unable to make predictions without adding one or more physical constants that describe the Fredkin-Wolfram information process for the multiverse? If Einstein is not correct in assuming that there is a purely algebraic theory for the multiverse underlying string theory, then how could there be a computational theory that allows string theory to make predictions?
