Simplicity is the state or quality of being simple. Something which is easy to understand or explain seems simple, in contrast to something complicated. Alternatively, as
Herbert A. Simon suggests, something is simple or
complex depending on the way we choose to describe it. In some uses, the label "simplicity" can imply
beauty, purity, or clarity. "Simplicity" may also occur with negative connotations to suggest a deficit or insufficiency of nuance or of complexity of a thing, relative to what one supposes as required.
