Sounds like attributes to me, which once again ain't simple.
Divine simplicity, as your link suggests, regards the characterization, nature of God as being mapped to null or X, where null is simply nothing, making a tautology, and X is some fuzzy singular concept that is not a combination of any other set of components.
