Quantum mechanics is inevitable in hypergraph models because when rewriting a hypergraph, many different rewriting paths are possible at each step; following all possible paths creates a 'multi-way graph' where multiple threads of time coexist, representing the quantum superposition of states before measurement.

Evidence Quote

the next big thing that you come up with in physics is quantum mechanics and it turns out in these models quantum mechanics is actually quite inevitable... you can think about following all those possible Paths of rewriting you get what we call a multi-way graph
