What if the world were the other way around - if what we usually call "simple" were in fact the most profound, and what we assume to be "complex" were really a construction? This book begins with a striking reversal by the French philosopher Henri Bergson: "Spontaneity is simple and inertia is complex." From this inversion unfolds an inquiry into life, thought, and the structures that guide our existence. Drawing on philosophy, quantum physics, psychology, and complexity theory, the work traces how simplicity is not the absence of detail but the presence of vitality, integration, and direction...
What if the world were the other way around - if what we usually call "simple" were in fact the most profound, and what we assume to be "complex" were really a construction? This book begins with a striking reversal by the French philosopher Henri Bergson: "Spontaneity is simple and inertia is complex." From this inversion unfolds an inquiry into life, thought, and the structures that guide our existence. Drawing on philosophy, quantum physics, psychology, and complexity theory, the work traces how simplicity is not the absence of detail but the presence of vitality, integration, and direction. Bergson's insights are brought into dialogue with Gilles Deleuze's folds, Edward de Bono's creative simplicity, Bernhard Riemann's poles and dimensions, Doug Renselle's enigmatic "Quantonics," as well as the discoveries of chaos theory and the reflections of Carl Jung. Each chapter shows that spontaneity - the living, intuitive movement of nature and mind - is not secondary to rigid laws, but their condition of possibility. Inertia, by contrast, reveals itself as derivative, an abstraction hiding the complexity of blended forces. This book is both a study and a guide: an exploration for students, seekers, and reflective readers who sense that life is more than mechanism and that meaning begins where spontaneity unfolds.
