| description | Occam's Razor (William of Ockham): among competing explanations, prefer the one with fewest assumptions. |
Occam's Razor (William of Ockham) states: among competing explanations that fit the evidence equally well, prefer the one with the fewest assumptions. "Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity" (entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem). In reasoning, if two hypotheses fit the evidence equally well, choose the simpler one. In code, if two implementations are correct, choose the one with fewer moving parts.
The complexity test: "does removing this component break anything?" If no, remove it. In debugging, the simple explanation (misconfiguration, off-by-one, nil pointer) is almost always right. Resist exotic multi-system conspiracy theories when a single mundane cause fits all evidence. Caveat: Occam's razor selects between equally fitted explanations — do not use it to reject a complex truth when the evidence actually requires it.
Apply Occam's Razor whenever choosing between competing explanations, designs, or implementations. Use it to resist over-engineering and speculative abstraction layers added "just in case."
