Summary: Wolfram's model doesn't handle violations of Bell's Inequality, which has been observed in nature. Violations of Bell's Inequality require true randomness in the underlying universe. Hypergraph state machines assume an underlying mechanism that has no randomness. In other words, it functions like the kind of hidden variables theory ruled out by Bell's theorem. They haven't gotten anything like Hilbert space (quantum states) out of Wolfram's model.
