Stephen Wolfram

In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. Perhaps even the architecture of the network can change. Probably it’s because neural nets capture the architectural essence of actual brains.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

But then—basically starting in the early 1980s—there was a burst of progress based on a new idea (of which, yes, I seem to have ultimately been the primary initiator): the idea of using simple programs , rather than mathematical equations, as the basis for models of things in nature and elsewhere.
