Note | Occam's Razor Principle, also known as the Principle of Simplicity, suggests that when explaining phenomena, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions and simplest theory should be selected.
It was proposed by 14th-century logician William of Ockham, encouraging the elimination of unnecessary complexity and striving to grasp the essence of things in the simplest way. It is widely applied in fields such as science, management, and decision-making.
It is important to note that simplicity is not necessarily the best solution.
