A sometimes-spoken hope is that the universe is built on relatively simple rules with complex behaviors. If fields grow too complex, they hope to find some underlying principle that explains (away) that complexity.
We started out that way, I dunno if we'll end that way.
And even if it does eventually come down to 30 rules that explain everything? How many rules does Chess have? Way more than Go, and both can take decades to really understand.
