NOTE

Simplicity has no Role in Understanding the correct theory

Solomonov induction is not a suitable explanation for complex and autonomous entities./nThe simplest explanation is not always the right way to approach a concept./nSimplicity can only be measured or defined once a theory of physics is established./nThe number of bits in which a program could be encoded determines its simplicity./nQuantum computation has shown that the behavior of bits can affect complexity./nThere is no scale of complexity or simplicity that exists independent of physics./nComplexity and simplicity can only be defined within the context of a theory of physics./nIt is incorrect to measure the complexity of a theory of physics./nSimplicity is a result that follows science, not something that precedes it.
