Likely not.

I roughly see how this part (gravitation in the Wolfram Model) works out:fromSome Relativistic and Gravitational Properties of the Wolfram ModelJonathan Gorard1University of Cambridge2Wolfram Research, IncThe Wolfram Model can be thought of as being an abstract generalization of the “Causal Dynamical Triangulation” approach to quantum gravity developed by Loll, Ambjørn, and Jurkiewicz.The first essential step in the derivation of special relativity for causal-invariant Wolfram Model systems is to make precise the formal correspondence between directed edges connecting updating events in a discrete causal graph, and timelike-separation of events in a continuous Minkowski space (or, more generally, in a Lorentzian manifold).The present article has demonstrated the Wolfram Model to be a novel, exciting and potentially highly fruitful discrete model for spacetime geometry, exhibiting discrete analogs of many (and possibly all) of the salient mathematical features of Lorentzian and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds in limiting cases. There exist a variety of open problems arising from this work, ranging from the possibility of computing higher-order corrections to the discrete Einstein field equations, to determining the computability-theoretic and complexity-theoretic properties that distinguish inertial and non-inertial reference frames, to developing a theory of general relativity that holds in manifolds with variable spacetime dimensions. A few of these problems are discussed in greater depth in our accompanying publication on quantum mechanics, which makes significant use of both the special relativistic and general relativistic formalisms that we develop inthis paper (especially the relationship between confluence, causal invariance and Lorentz covariance, and the derivation of the discrete Einstein field equations), and we intend to investigate several more of these questions in the course of future publications. The present work, however, has at least revealed the Wolfram Model to be a plausible fundamental model for classical relativistic and gravitational physics, and we eagerly await the implications that this will entail.@philipthrift

but not many complaints aboutMany Worlds theories - https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.08132For a mechanist, Thea priori question is why only those many worlds, as it *seems* to be a filtration on “all computations”. I have thought that Nature refutes mechanism, because I thought obvious that the physical universe was unique, but then physics confirms the “obvious” all computations aspect of arithmetic.Ghost fields - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_(physics)I have no clues on this, yet.Bruno

Popov introduced these as a way of introducing constraints to counter certain degrees of freedom in gauge theories, These are then really a way of countering four degrees of freedom of a gauge field, when there are only 2 polarizations. There is the Villars ghost that has negative norm, which could be a way of managing the negative probabilities that crop up in quantum gravitation. These are then not so much physical fields that are measured, but rather techniques for managing gauge redundancies.Many worlds theories are not really theories, but interpretations.

I am not a panegyric for Wolfram's theory at this time.
I have not studied it enough to make a judgment. It appears to be a form of combinatorics combined with the sort of AI based graphs Nerode introduced to categorize the Chomsky hierarchy of grammars. This then might have at least some facet of the foundations of physics. At this time I really do not know.
