You need to read the book. He is a mathematician looking at how complexity arises from simple computer programs. His results may eventually be applied to many areas of science, perhaps all areas of science. Such applications and extentions will need to be done by others, he is merely reporting his research into computations done on cumputer.

Probably true.

I know you can draw very nice mountains with fractals, but that doesn't exactly mean that mountians come from computer algorithms.
