Smooth things are easy to describe succinctly.
Wrinkly things are easier to describe not in their final state directly but by describing the system that generates them.
Most wrinkly things look chaotic and incoherent at first glance… but have hidden generative patterns.
If there didn't have some kind of highly efficient generator pattern they'd just be random noise and would dissipate and erode over time.
Stable variance that persists has to have some kind of generating system behind it.
