Well I think there is a lot of complexity in the interpreter of the math string. For example, imagine I write an interpreter that takes a single character, and if it's 'A' gives a mandelbrot fractal, 'B' a burning ship fractal, 'C' an image of the sun that is hardcoded into the program (what's the difference between such hardcoding of information and the 'hardcoding' of how multiplication is performed, anyways?) <-- Here is a program that has a lot of 'complexity' produced with only 3 possible inputs. My point is basically, the system includes the interpreter all the way up to the eye and the mind, and it seems tricky to completely detach such context from a description of how 'complex' things are.
