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.

• Conceptual and structural simplicity
• Functional sufficiency with minimal parts
• Clear explanatory or practical power
• Aesthetic coherence in design or logic

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.

• 'Engineering flair': visually or technically impressive systems with excessive complexity and unclear added value.
