Simplicity in the Black Hole Interior

Abstract: It has often been speculated that the black hole interior in holography has high computational complexity in the dual CFT. I will argue that operators in the black hole interior are simple whenever they lie outside of the outermost (quantum) extremal surface. That is, that non-minimal quantum extremal surfaces are the only source of high complexity in AdS/CFT. This is the converse of the so-called Python's lunch conjecture, which proposes that operators with support behind the outermost quantum extremal surface - e.g. Hawking partners - are highly complex.
