That is a very interesting point of view. I agree with the idea that complexity is a reflection of the environment in which the machine is acting on. Atomic operations of the machine may look simple as compared to the external world, however, isn't the machine itself an outcome of the external world? Machine and the ant look simple only because we chose to focus on them! Otherwise, they are not so different from the background world in which they operate. Don't you think so? In that way, there is hardly any difference between an 'intelligent being' and a machine!
