What's your definition of complexity in general?

I was proposing using a Euclidean metric which did not give the same size
to all prime numbers; prime p would have length ln(p), and if p and q are
odd primes, with q>p, then
length p/q = length q/p = ln(q). This uniquely determines a Euclidean
metric.
