Can you explain that a little better?
It seems to me like if you define complexity in any formal way, you'll end up tiling the universe with either random noise, fractals, or some other extremely uninteresting system with lots and lots of variables.
I always thought that our love of complexity is a side-effect of the godshatter, ie there's no one thing that will interest us. Solve everything else, and the desire for complexity disappears. You might convince me otherwise by defining "complexity" more rigorously.
Could complexity-advocates reply to this point specifically? Either to say why they don't actually want this or to admit that they do. I'm confused.
