Sophisticated Simplicity

Can we put down Simplicity as a description of things that are simple enough to be called simple or does Simplicity goes beyond what we can conjure upon?
There are good amount of ambiguous definitions finding their own popular responses across the world - some popular for a day, some for months, and then years and finally the one that gets over these milestones becomes a general truth, which from time to time can be challenged in the later course of its existence.

I was curious, about how I could define Simplicity in simple words, to which till date, I could find none. It was in fact much more tougher than it would have been in describing complexity. Yes, Complexity- it involves lot many stages, states, variables, and whatever. So, defining Simplicity through this blog post won't even do justice to find an apt definition for the Simplicity, but let me have one. At least for the sake of making you ask and ponder, so as to why?

I would call, defining Simplicity or finding the definite description of Simplicity an ambiguous statement in itself. Why ambiguous? Ambiguity is something that deviates from the factual description of things that are supposedly to act the way we had thought or the other people might have presumed to be, till the moment we redefine it and accept it, so that it forms the part of a subtle reckoning truth. Well, the idea of being ambiguous can be ambiguous in itself. Now, that I made the above statements, I find the oxymoronic existence of the word we have been so curious about - yes, the Simplicity and its oxymoronic counterpart being the Complexity.
Given an option to define Simplicity, any person ( at least most of us) would state that it is the opposite of things that are complex, taking in cue the antagonistic attributes only. But, would it suffice in a simple way. Yes, the answer here seems to be simple, as it should be for any things which are supposed to be simple - and defining Simplicity should had been the same.
But, contrary to what I see Simplicity as, is - It is a non achievable state. Nothing can be a completely simple, at least to a point which would take in account everything that we expect from a Simple thing.
A simple thing has to be straight away simple as it can be. But, what we need to actualize is, that, even for a thing to be simple, or at least near the perfection of simplicity, it should be void of the complexity involved in defining the same - Which unfortunately , I can't find one.
And hence as of now, I would just rather put it in: "Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication".

since. That's pretty much how I ended up where I am today,
