Waterbed theory is the observation, ascribed to Larry Wall, that some systems, such as human and computer languages, contain a minimum amount of complexity, and that attempting to "push down" the complexity of such a system in one place will invariably cause complexity to "pop up" elsewhere. This behavior is likened to a waterbed mattress which contains a certain amount of water; it is possible to push down the mattress in one place, but the displaced water will always cause the mattress to rise elsewhere, because water does not compress. It is impossible to push down the waterbed everywhere at once, because the volume of the water remains a constant.

  • La théorie du matelas d'eau (en anglais, Waterbed theory) est l'observation, décrite par Larry Wall que quelques systèmes ont une complexité minimale, et que tenter de réduire cette complexité à un endroit ne fera que l'augmenter à un autre endroit. Ce comportement est assimilé à celui d'un matelas d'eau sur lequel lorsque l'on fait pression à un endroit, l'eau se répartit sur le reste du matelas, parce que l'eau est incompressible. La théorie du matelas d'eau a été citée comme partie significative de la philosophie de design du Perl 6. (fr)

Waterbed theory has been cited as a significant part of the design philosophy of Raku. (en)
