The same concept could be applied to nature, and especially biology. Biological systems are fiendishly complex, much more so than physical or chemical systems.

Principles of Parsimony Analysis ... In general, parsimony is the principle that the simplest explanation that can explain the data is to be preferred. In the analysis of phylogeny, parsimony means that a hypothesis of relationships that requires the smallest number of character changes is most likely to be correct.

In our method we apply a parsimony-driven explanation of the network, where the domain interactions are inferred using linear programming optimization, and false positives in the protein network are handled by a probabilistic construction.

Published in the August 2009 Issue of PLoS Computational Biology ... We developed a parsimony approach, called MinPath (Minimal set of Pathways), for biological pathway reconstructions using protein family predictions, which yields a more conservative, yet more faithful, estimation of the biological pathways for a...
