Ockham's Razor
Ockham's Razor is a principle based on a statement made
by William of Ockham (English 1285-1349):
"Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate"
(entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily)
|
which can be re-expressed in a more modern form as:
|
the simplest (most succinct)
theory is more likely to be correct, and certainly
a better working model to (use to make predicting and attempt to)
disprove first.
