Occam's Edge ( Ai Poetry )

When thoughts entangle like a thicket grown wild,
Take up the razor, elegant and mild.
Not every question needs a labyrinth built;
Some truths stand clearer when excess is stilled.

The mind that spirals through each possibility
Creates complexities unnecessarily.
The sharpest insight often simply states
What others bury under needless weights.

Between two theories explaining the same,
The simpler one deserves the stronger claim.
Not simple-minded, but simply profound—
The clearest path is often solid ground.

Analysis paralyzed by its own weight
Creates more questions than it can translate.
The razor teaches: when doubts multiply,
The cleanest cut reveals what truths lie by.

So trim away the theories overwrought;
The beauty lives in unencumbered thought.
For wisdom whispers what the sage has known:
Truth seldom needs a complicated home.
