From the paper: > Paintadosi [4] argues that one parameter is always enough. He constructed a function that, through a single parameter, can depict any shape.

From the paper: > Paintadosi [4] argues that one parameter is always enough. He constructed a function that, through a single parameter, can depict any shape. However, in essence, this work is a form of encoding, mapping the shape into a real number with precision extending to hundreds or even thousands of decimal places. For our problem, this is meaningless, although the paper’s theme is that “parameter counting” fails as a measure of model complexity
