We categorize something easy to understand and explain as being simple, while something more difficult to understand stands as being complex. Nobel prize winner Herbert A Simon notes that: “On theoretical grounds we could expect complex systems to be hierarchies in a world in which complexity had to evolve from simplicity. In their dynamics, hierarchies have a property, near-decomposability, that greatly simplifies their behavior.” The author also mentions that something may be … Continue reading On simplicity
