===== Elegance (Scientific Definition) ===== **Elegance** in science refers to a solution, method, or design that achieves its purpose with simplicity, efficiency, and conceptual clarity. It is often admired for doing more with less. ==== Key Traits ==== * Conceptual and structural simplicity * Functional sufficiency with minimal parts * Clear explanatory or practical power * Aesthetic coherence in design or logic ==== Example ==== An EV delivery system that uses a single tag to achieve targeted, functional delivery is elegant. A multi-tag, fusion-heavy system with redundant components is not. ==== Not to Be Confused With ==== * '''Engineering flair''': visually or technically impressive systems with excessive complexity and unclear added value.
