The two concepts that are the foundation of Wolfram's book are multi-computation and rheoliology, which both reveal the underlying structures and simplicity of complex models and systems.

Meta-modeling
Summary

The concept of multi-computation proposes a paradigmatic structure underneath all fields that can simplify the core model in complicated hedgehog models. The foundations of complexity tackle the question of what simple programs do, which is different from detailed applications, thus making room for meta-modeling.

Rheology, also referred to as the basic science of rules, involves understanding what simple rules like cellular automata, Turing machines, substitution systems, register machines, among others, do in real-life scenarios.

Summary

Rheology, also referred to as the basic science of rules, involves understanding what simple rules like cellular automata, Turing machines, substitution systems, register machines, among others, do in real-life scenarios. Although it is different from mathematics, rheology is integral in understanding the effects of rules in different contexts.
