Simplifying structural complexity

Description

Simplifying structural complexity involves streamlining intricate systems, organizations, or processes by reducing unnecessary layers, clarifying roles, and eliminating redundancies. This strategy aims to enhance efficiency, transparency, and adaptability, making structures easier to manage and understand. By addressing confusion, communication barriers, and operational delays caused by excessive complexity, it enables quicker decision-making, improved resource allocation, and more effective problem-solving, ultimately fostering organizational resilience and responsiveness to change.

Claim

Whilst there appears to be no commonly accepted definition of simplicity, it is clearly an aspect of structure. To be perceived however, structural simplicity must blend with a cognitive act, leading to recognition, experienced subjectively as a catharsis (release of tension). The inquiring mind seeks such experiences through solving problems and perceiving regularity where none was apparent before. The quest for simplicity stems from a conviction that underlying apparently wide dissimilarities are profound similarities, which when perceived, make order out of chaos, and simplicity out of complexity.
