Donegan, G. Livesey, T. McMaster, G. McAleavy] When a building is designed it possesses a spatial layout of routes and passageways all of which contribute to the building's egress capability—a key consideration in the context of health and safety for occupants. In this paper we examine how such a spatial layout can be interpreted as a vital system of egress, which if processed exhaustively by a naïve agent will identify with a measure of egress complexity. We further examine how the established rule-based mechanism for the determination of egress complexity satisfies the generically accepted axioms of complexity and we illustrate some of the algorithms of egress complexity with examples.
