What drives complexity?
Abstract
This is a conceptual essay addressing the phenomenon of spontaneous emergence of complexity. It is not proposing a new physical theory, rather introduces the concept of a universal complexity driver based on information theory. The text is not a peer-reviewed article and does not aim at formal completeness. Its purpose is to stimulate a reflective and exploratory discussion.
