This isn't crank stuff, and operates on different kinds of problems/scales than "grand unified theory" type cranks. This is about emergent statistical order in complex interacting systems of sufficient size, not about the behaviors of the individual particles or whatever.

Universality broadly construed is well understood since the 70s. Particular universality classes are newer and will likely continue to be discovered, but they all come to be in a qualitatively similar way.

		Dude you don't know what you're talking about and it shows. They're describing something super fundamental akin to a statistical distribution and how it shows up in a lot of places. That's it. That's all. Nothing crank about it.
