Saying that it's important doesn't mean it's simple.
You're confusing the intuitive notion of "simple" with "low Kolmogorov complexity". For example, the Mandelbrot set is "complicated" in the intuitive sense, but has low Kolmogorov complexity since it can be constructed by a simple process.
What do you mean by "short referent?" Yes, it will likely be an often-used concept, so the internal symbol signifying the concept is likely to be short, but that says absolutely nothing about the complexity of the concept itself.
It does if you look at the rest of my argument.
If you want to say that "agentiness" is a K-simple concept, perhaps you should demonstrate that by explicating a precise computational definition for an agent detector,
Step 1: Stimulation the universe for a sufficiently long time.
Step 2: Ask the entity now filling up the universe "is this an agent?".
Thus reducing entropy globally must have low Kolmogorov complexity.
What do you mean by that statement? Kolmogorov complexity is a property of a concept. Well "reducing entropy" as a concept does have low Kolmogorov complexity.

I am using the word "simple" to refer to "low K-complexity." That is the context of this discussion.
It does if you look at the rest of my argument.
The rest of your argument is fundamentally misinformed.
Step 1: Stimulation the universe for a sufficiently long time.
Step 2: Ask the entity now filling up the universe "is this an agent?".
Simulating the universe to identify an agent is the exact opposite of a short refere...
