mereologically(describing how to define simplicity for objects)
In a way that focuses on how things are made up of smaller parts and how those parts fit together; from the word 'mereology,' which is the study of parts and wholes.
topologically(describing how to define simplicity for regions of space)
In a way that focuses on the shape, structure, and how things are connected in space, rather than exact measurements; from topology, a branch of mathematics studying spatial properties.
