Analysis Of Occam's Razor '

Knowledge is what we know and in order to explain the behavior of knowledge it is through accuracy and simplicity, that knowledge becomes known to oneself and collectively. In terms of simplicity, Occam 's Razor is the scientific and philosophic explanation for keeping information in its simplest form. On the other hand, accuracy allows for all information to be handled collectively, to find the appropriate justification that will keep the integrity of what is known to keep it precise.
