A recent proposal equates the circuit complexity of a quantum gravity state with the gravitational action of a certain patch of spacetime. Since Einstein's equations follow from varying the action, it should be possible to derive them by varying complexity. I present such a derivation for vacuum solutions of pure Einstein gravity in three-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter space. The argument relies on known facts about holography and on properties of Tensor Network Renormalization, an algorithm for coarse-graining (and optimizing) tensor networks.

    Complexity of formation, unlike complexity of purification, shows distinct and timescale-matching signatures of both decoherence and recoherence in a Gaussian two-field de Sitter model.
