 ==== Contrary Principles ====
-  * [[principles:More Is More Complex]]
+  * [[Keep It Simple Stupid]] (KISS): Sometimes UP demands more complex solutions because they are already applied elsewhere and for the sake of uniformity shall also be applied in simpler contexts where they would not be necessary.
+  * [[Model Principle]] (MP): UP may demand adhering to a certain naming scheme, which may not be best with respect to MP.
 ==== Complementary Principles ====
-  * [[principles:Keep It Simple Stupid]]
+  * [[Principle of Least Surprise]] (PLS): When applying UP, PLS should also be considered for naming modules.
