Cognitive complexity is defined as a special case of Kolmogorov complexity. This notion is claimed to be essential for predicting which states of affairs appear interesting to a human mind, as evidenced by the selection of events that are spontaneously signaled or reported: interesting events correspond to a cognitive complexity drop. We consider the consequences of this model for the study of conversational relevance.
