Of course the language of "simplicity" and "complexity" is fraught with misunderstanding and baggage, and I've worked in the past to get some of it untangled, and remain dissatisfied and troubled by various conceptual problems, implications of egocentricity and ethnocentricity, and self-contradictions within the project still.
But there is one takeaway: in the absolute, reality is infinitely complex everywhere. And relative complexity, or observer-dependent complexity, necessarily implies simplification. It arises out of the building up of numerous prior simplifications, or conceptual building blocks which were stripped from their contexts and compressed in the first place. Relative complexity requires more organized energy, so to speak.
More generally, simplicity arises from constant repetition and the elimination of error and discord towards harmony, and it also arises from dissolution and catastrophe, whereas complexity arises out of turbulence and dissonance, but it also occurs in movements towards harmony and continuity as well. Again, no clear way forward.
