Balance of Computation: System vs. Observer
There are two extremes in computational analysis: one where the system is complex doing all the computation, while the observer is trivial, and the other where the system is trivial and the observer shoulders the computational burden. The Rulliad exemplifies the latter, where all possible computations and data structures exist. The computational path is simple to specify but the observer's job of making equivalences between paths can be highly sophisticated. These extremes have no observational distinction, and there exists an intermediate space where both system and observer share the computational load.
