And the reason why systems generally default to simpler representations over more complex ones in nature is because the process of evolution is in many ways basically just a very slow random search. Simpler solutions fundamentally are more likely to occur than complex ones. Of course over many iterations of simple changes, an overarching complexity often can seemingly emerge over time. Also, to be 100% accurate, I should say that technically evolution is a form of a genetic algorithm which is slightly different and more constrained than a pure random search, but it's not that big of a deal with respect to this conversation.
