Gorard et al.: ZX-calculus embeds in multiway systems — compatibility, not inevitability

what the source states
The diagrammatic rewritings of the ZX-calculus can be embedded and realized within Wolfram-model multiway systems, whose evolution and branchial graphs carry a compatible monoidal structure; a software framework implements the correspondence.
what we infer
The strongest formal quantum result in the Wolfram program, filed with its exact logical force: an embedding of an already-quantum calculus into a universal rewriting framework shows the framework can host quantum information theory, not that observers in it must experience quantum mechanics. Universal frameworks embed almost everything; selection is the whole problem.
limitations
