Prägnanz (Law of Simplicity)

Prägnanz, or the Law of Simplicity, is a principle in psychology that suggests our minds prefer to perceive and interpret complex images and shapes in the simplest, most straightforward way. Essentially, when presented with different interpretations, we tend to focus on the one that is most orderly and easiest to understand. This principle underlies how we recognize patterns, organize information, and make sense of the world around us, helping us to quickly grasp meaning without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.
