A start would be 1 over the entropy. |

I'm going to ask a pretty vague (or so I think) question, and I'll explain myself if needed after I get some responses. |

...good question. |
|
Well... |
|
An extension of my previous idea; the length of the description required to fully describe it. |
|
Simple. There is a pattern to it. |

It isn't a copy. It's slightly different. |

This works fairly well. If we're talking about mathematical objects, this would be the number of independent objects in a space. |
|
But you can represent the Mandelbrot set by Zn+1 = Zn^2 + c. |

Is a non equilateral triangle more complex than a square? |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
But it has less sides to it. |

Which makes it less complex |
|
Let's say you have three sides but the angles don't add up so two sides aren't touching. |
|
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
The Mandelbrot set is generated by a very simple iteration. Like I said, you can draw a Mandelbrot with any given resolution in about 10 lines of code. That makes it finitely complex, and not very complex at all. |

How does being able to change the angles make something less complex? |
|
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
That's a close one. Depends on the exact amino acid. We're comparing unique computer instructions used in drawing a mandelbrot to the number of element positions in the acid, basically. For small amino acids it's roughly the same. |
