1. reductionist

   A reductionist is someone who simplifies complex concepts, issues, or systems by reducing them to their constituent parts or basic elements, often in the belief that this makes them easier to understand or elucidate. In scientific terms, reductionism is the theory that every complex phenomenon can be explained by analyzing the simplest, most basic physical mechanisms that are in operation during the phenomenon.
