Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem

My God is the green tide in the spring leaves the redness of cherries high in the air the excitement of shooting stars the song of birds in summer branches the sunrise on a winter's morning the name of everything we don't understand.

Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate. A plurality (of reasons) should not be posited without necessity.

Plurality should not be assumed without necessity.

What can be explained by the assumption of fewer things is vainly explained by the assumption of more things.

Simpler explanations are, other things being equal, generally better than more complex ones.

When you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better.
