If something is indeed infinitely complex, then a very large magnitude of complexity for it ought to be measurable for a detectable part of that thing. Will they take the lifeline?
How so? The term "complex" is an evaluation of an entity, not a quantifiable trait.
What makes a thing "quantifiably complex"? How does one measure "complex" without perception?
A "Complex number" has a real and imaginary component. That is a quantifiable only because it has a fixed
definition outside of perception.
