He also harps on how Cellular Automata will replace (or complement) a lot differential equation based physics, but I havent seen many significant exampled. Hew wrote a whole book on that and refers to it a couple of times in this blog.

I think that a cellular automata can replace any differential equation. That doesn't necessarily make it a more correct (or more useful!) way to look at things.

The real challenge is that you can't easily predict what phenomena will be caused by what rules, and you can't easily derrive what rules will cause whatever phenomena you are interested in.
