Theory of Needlessly Complex Solutions
Sub-Theory of Overcomplicating the Obvious
Also known as "Theory of Needlessly Complex Solutions, Part 2: The Overthinking Edition", this sub-theory delves deeper into the depths of unnecessary complexity.
Key principles include:
- Take two simple concepts, combine them in a way that creates 7 new variables.
- Introduce 3 new variables that are only marginally related to the original concepts.
- Re-define the original 2 concepts to be incompatible with each other.
Sub-Sub-Theory of Needlessly Complex Solutions
For an added layer of complexity, try adding 2 sub-theories to the main theory, creating 5 new sub-concepts.
Key sub-principles include:
- Sub-Theory 1: Inversion of Inherent Assumptions
- Sub-Theory 2: Paradox of the Unseen Variable
