Relativity emerges necessarily in the Wolfram Physics model because observers embedded in the system can only know causal relationships between events, not absolute orderings of events, and causal invariance (the property that the causal graph is the same regardless of the order in which updates are applied) ensures that different reference frames will agree on these causal structures.

“the only thing you can tell is what are the causal relationships between events... causal invariance... that's essentially why uh well that's in the end why relativity works”
