The free part of the Mordell-Weil group can be enormously complex, with generators of enormous height. What finite generation means is that the complexity is not anarchic — it has a basis, a set of primitives from which all else is constructed. This is the arithmetic analogue of the claim that emergent behavior in complex systems is not random but constrained by underlying organizational principles. The scandal is that we know the rank exi...
