Dimensional Descent

After the path Complexity, there was the path of Simplicity. Leonel felt that it was less accurate to say that there were striations between these concepts... at least not totally. While Complexity was seen as the lesser form in this case, there were times that layers of Simplicity could be used in conjunction, ultimately returning to Simplicity. It could be said that they were interchangeable at a certain level.

The silver disk dictionary was a good example of Simplicity in action. It was a simple, smooth disk. And its internal components didn't look much different from a watch's internal construction.

"To a mortal, a watch might seem excessively complicated, especially when more complex movements were taken into account. However, on the scale of the Dimensional Verse, even watches that could track time, date and orbits couldn't compare to the most complicated Craft even a mere Bronze Crafter could accomplish, let alone at Leonel's current level."

Considering the things the dictionary could do, the mere fact that it was made up of such a simple and straightforward setup with barely a few dozen components, could be considered the very pinnacle of Simplicity. And that was what Leonel was chasing after now. The trouble was that it wasn't so simple at all.

"In order to grasp Complexity, Leonel was working on the level of atoms themselves. But what was odd here was that, technically speaking, weren't the components of the silver dictionary also made up of countless atoms as well?"

"So what made the former Complexity and the latter Simplicity? This was where the lines blurred considerably."

"Complexity didn't necessarily have to deal with molecules and their structures, it was just that this was the hardest application of it. If one could succeed on that stage, then on larger scales, it wasn't a problem to do the same."

"In regard to Simplicity, the difference lay in the fact Complexity required Leonel to make active changes on the smallest of scales if he wanted to have a device with so few components. However, with Simplicity, the changes on the smallest scales could be triggered even without Leonel's active participation."

"The simplest analogy was boiling water."
