The universe creates complexity out of simplicity, but despite many attempts at understanding how, scientists still have not figured it out. We do know that complexity relies on the emergence of new features and laws, but then again we don't understand emergence either. The first step must be to clearly define what we are talking about and to measure it. A group of scientists now put forward a way to do exactly this. Let’s have a look.
Paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2402.09090
Correction to what I say at 04:07 "You will still get the correct prediction". I meant to convey that the prediction doesn't get worse if you average "lumped" classes rather than the full set. Either way, it will be a probabilistic prediction so it's correct only in a statistical sense either way.
