Physicists would probably argue that the system might be understood but that we don’t have the model for it yet.

Many natural phenomena look chaotic at best without a model. Once you have a model things fall into place and everything starts looking orderly.

Maybe it cannot be reduced. But maybe we are just observing the peripherals without understanding the inner workings.

If I can speak in aphorisms,

Creation is downhill, analysis is uphill.

Profound ideas often seem simple once understood.

Well put.

In other words: simplicity is a hallmark of understanding.
