ID Principles are guiding design principles for abiotic and biotic systems used by intelligent designers, as inferred from comparing empirical facts of those systems with known design principles, after excluding explanations of natural law and randomness. See also the Explanatory Filter.

Highest ID Principles

G. W. Leibniz (1686)

Simultaneously maximize the variety, diversity and richness of the world, and minimize the conceptual complexity of the set of ideas that determine the world.^[1],^[2], ^[3] Leibniz summarizes the highest level design principles for abiotic and biotic systems that he attributes to God (as the Intelligent Designer).
