Abstract

Parametric and dimensional simplicity are not indicators of truth but the methodological principle that urges us to pay attention to such notions of simplicity is truth conducive}. The truth that we are looking for are specific geometrical shapes and we know which algorithm can find which shape provided that we pay attention to parametric and dimensional simplicity.
