Pertinence narrative
Narrative relevance

Please visit ---------------> simplicitytheory.org


Between 25% and 40% of conversation time is devoted to narratives. I developed a model of narrative relevance, trying to discover the laws of interest. My most recent model is based on cognitive complexity. Interesting topics correspond to a cognitive complexity drop, that I call unexpectedness (U). This led me to define subjective probability as p=2-U.
