''Specifications'' "are patterns that identify events and that have short or simple descriptions. But descriptions can be represented in bits." Also, "Design inferences engage in a balancing act between the complexity of events and the simplicity of descriptions."<ref>William Dembski and Winston Ewert. 2023. The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance through Small Probabilities (2nd edition). Discovery Institute. ISBN 9781637120347. pages 132-133</ref>

The term "'''specified complexity'''" is term used and endorsed by eminent scientists such as Francis Crick, Paul Davies, Leslie Orgel, and even Richard Dawkins, sometimes using the very term and at other times using "complexity" and "specification" in the same breath. The actual term "specified complexity" goes back to biologist Leslie Orgel in 1973 in connection to origin of life research.<ref>William Dembski and Winston Ewert. 2023.
