- Describes the dual process of complexity buildup and simplification, leading to the beauty of primitive art and nature.

chapter
- Chapter 6: Generated StructureintroducesThe chapter contrasts generated structures (complex, adapted, alive) with fabricated structures (designed, dead, full of mistakes), and argues that only generated structures can achieve deep complexity and avoid costly mistakes.
