irreducibly
In simplest form
In a way that cannot be reduced or simplified further.
Something irreducibly complex cannot be broken into simpler components without losing its essential nature: The problem is irreducibly difficult—there's no shortcut.
The term appears often in philosophy and science when arguing that certain phenomena resist further analysis or decomposition.
