VII (a) 17
Simplicity/Quine: is itself ambiguous and unclear. It is a double or multiple standard depending on the terminology.
Immediate experiences can be presented more easily in a physical conceptual scheme.

VII (d) 70
Simplicity/Ontology/Quine: we simplify our discussion, in that we make the objects as big and as few as possible - e.g. river instead of temporal river states. >Ontology.

XI 135
Ontology/Existence/Theory/Quine/Lauener: decisive are simplicity considerations, but not so much about the set of objects, but rather about theory.

XII 33
Abstract/abstract object/existence/coherence/Quine: Existence assertions about abstract objects can only be judged by their coherence or by simplicity considerations.
Example: to avoid paradoxes with classes.
>Paradoxes, >Classes.
