Zach,
GIVEN
–“In algorithmic information theory, the Kolmogorov complexity of an object, such as a piece of text, is the length of a shortest computer program (in a predetermined programming language) that produces the object as output. It is a measure of the computational resources needed to specify the object,”–
AND
(a) the universe’s computational resources.
(b) the universe’s algorithm is not a subset of possible operations, but consists of the only possible operations.
(c) the set of what the universe can compute is identical to the set of operations the universe can construct.
THEREFORE
KC is irrelevant. It is a statement about computers in the universe and software on those computers and not the universe.
AS SUCH
Wolfram (as I) would not of course consider it relevant since that relevance would be illogical.

Note that the fact you are confused (as would almost everyone be) is also why the physicists are confused. Because mathematics(calculation) is not the same as computation(operations).
