Well considering how I've said earlier in the thread that the two kinds of complexity; - 1: difficult to understand and 2: something that is unlikely to simply come about by chance - often get mixed up... and right now I'm talking about number 2 - I would say that with this definition of complexity a particle that is fully conscious AND omnipotent would be complex! It wouldn't be ultimately simple! Because its total consciousness and omnipotence would give it a lot of complexity.

If its QUITE complex it could design a very simple universe. If its VERY complex it could design a QUITE complex universe...

Of course I'm being very general and vague here but I think you get the idea, (of what I'm talking about I mean - you won't necessarily agree).

P.S: this is an interesting thread Wink
