Very philosophical and not rigorous

Some interesting ideas, but I wasn’t sure how to place it in terms of who the target audience is or what you are trying to show. It came across as a collection of ideas instead of a focused presentation of something. Some more sections/subsections could help organize the material and some introduction laying out the goals could help with this!

Maybe I’m not that qualified to give a feedback since I don’t have enough background in physics, but I think the article is too technical and not motivated for a general audience. It sounds even philosophical in a sense. Anyway, I think the weak point is that the discussed method doesn’t separate the formal realm from reality. Mathematics is ultimately just a tool to describe the universe, not a “higher law” that the universe must follow. And so the conclusion (about logic and simplicity) doesn’t follow.
