Wolfram doesn’t write in a typical academic style or format.
If this is the main problem, it seems like an opportunity for arbitrage—someone should take Wolfram’s ideas, translate them into academic language, and publish. With proper citations there is nothing wrong about doing it, and it should be easier than doing your own research.
I think this is a waste of his time tho. Academia is nice and all (tho not as much as we once thought) but it actively resists its members publishing big accessible books. That seems tragic to me.
With his latest ‘hypergraph physics’ project, that’s exactly what his ‘team’ is doing.
His company hosts some kind of math/science/computation summer camp (for high school students and older I think) and I’m pretty sure he’s mentioned several times that research has been published based on the camp activities. (That’s much less directly connected to him or his own personal ideas or research tho.)
