Managing Complexity is Key to Efficiency

Managing complexity is key to achieving efficiency. Complexity leads to redundancy, redundancy leads to duplication, duplication leads to croft, croft leads to waste, waste leads to disorder, disorder leads to chaos, therefore complexity = chaos. When you increase complexity you proportionally also increase chaos, efficiency means the management of complex tasks with simple structures with each proportional increase in complexity, there is a proportional increase in inefficiency.

Order is achieved by balancing efficiency against complexity. The fractal point order of any base structure is relative to its proportional order of complexity through managing complexity, efficiency can be achieved, so long as output remains maximal chaos and complexity are paired in outcome, to reduce complexity without reducing effectiveness is to achieve efficiency.

While many mistakenly believe that complexity is the royal road to efficiency, effectiveness and order, complexity is actually the enemy of all three. All complex structures show an increasing tendency toward waste and chaos. Whether through centralization or decentralization, managing order requires favoring simple structures over complex structures, by favoring efficiency in design, distribution and definition. To embrace simplicity is to embrace that higher order which can only be recognized and achieved through the singular commitment to a focused definition of each part of a higher structure which when working in harmony toward achieving an efficiency end can abolish complexity in favor of functionality.
