It's kind of weird for Permutation City and Schild's Ladder to be under "Soft Science Fiction".

They're right. Schild's Ladder is SF so hard you could cut diamond with it, and Permutation City, while definitely softer, is also definitely hard SF :)

Just had to go "pppfffttttt!" in amused horror at the idea of those books being "soft". I don't think there is any book ever written that is harder SF than Schild's Ladder, or any triology that is harder SF than these three (including Diaspora). If there's a top 10 of all time hard SF ever written, Schild's Ladder is #1.
