Thank you for your very interesting comment and the reading recommendation.

I agree with your general sentiment that chasing "wide applicability" or trying to force a narrative that xyz theory will explain xyz might be hugely detrimental.

I agree my post and many discussions about complex systems, specifically one in an evangelic-type light might be over-optimistic.

We definitely must approach all work on such a theory with careful attempts not to overhype it. My post was an attempt to lay out some interesting possibilities.

We must remain optimistic anyway but I will be more careful in this regard going forward. Thanks again.
