In Simplifying it becomes so Complex



In an effort to try and simplify ALL the things i do and enjoy i have taken my website and broken it up into areas - i thought this might make it easier for my readers so each area retains its own thread. An artist living in #countrytasmania also writes poetry, makes videos and maintains a variety of interests was making the website 'all over the place'

i hope this new system of mine works. it goes like this :

blackfishartstasmania - a front page info about the artist and many links to the artworks and lifestyle blog and you tube channel

artist working daily - its all about the works, how, when, why - studio work about my art

Just began putting down all my poetry at
Emerald13

listing the works that are completed and available for sale -
blackfisharts art gallery

artist newly moved to #countrytasmania - all the discoveries and enjoyment of place -
Regent Park

Our youtube channel.

DO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

Perhaps now the title of this post is making sense ?
i put the (title) question to Gemini (Ai) and got the info below.

The statement "in simplifying it becomes so complex" highlights the paradoxical nature of simplification. While simplification aims to make things easier to understand or manage, the process itself can sometimes involve intricate details and careful consideration, potentially leading to a feeling of increased complexity.

Here's why this paradox might exist:

Unraveling existing complexity:
Simplification often involves identifying and eliminating unnecessary elements within a complex system, which can be a challenging process.

Introducing new layers of understanding:
  • To truly simplify something, you might need to delve deeper into the underlying principles and mechanisms, which can temporarily increase your understanding but also make it seem more complex.
  • The need for precision:
  • True simplification requires careful attention to detail to ensure that you're not oversimplifying or sacrificing important information, which can make the process itself seem complex.
  • Complexity in understanding the process:
  • The process of simplifying is a skill in itself, requiring critical thinking, creativity, and a willingness to question established norms.
Complexity as a natural state:
In many systems, complexity can arise from natural evolution and the need to adapt to changing circumstances, making simplification a constant effort to maintain clarity.
In essence, simplification is not simply a matter of removing complexity; it's a strategic process that can require a thorough understanding of the underlying system and the ability to make informed decisions about what can be eliminated while preserving essential elements.

For example, the author of "The Complexity of Simplicity" says on LinkedIn, "Simplification is not just about removing complexity; it's about revealing the underlying simplicity. It's about finding the essential elements and presenting them in a clear and concise way, even if that process seems complex at times."
