complexification
Making things harder
Complexification is the process of making something more complex, or the state of becoming so.
The word often carries a critical edge, suggesting unnecessary complication: The new regulations represent a complexification of an already burdensome system.
In mathematics and physics, complexification has a technical meaning: extending a real structure into the complex number domain.
