Ayn Rand Objectivist Simplicity and Paucity

It's hard to improve on Ayn Rand,

for simplicity and paucity of fundamental logical principles:

A is A. (A is for Ayn, or anything.)
A is not non-A.

One is tempted to call her an Aristotelian (informal logic),
or perhaps post-Aristotelian; but, not-Aristotelian, really.

I don't know, really, what to call her 'field'.

She was not an economist, not a philosopher, not a novelist, really, not a sociologist, not a politician as such; not really anything, 'not-A', really.
