I doubt that (all) humans think in javascript :P Im sure the brain has its tricks, but they dont need to have something in common with the ones used here. I wonder what Kolmogorov Complexity this program has. Obviously <= 1023.

How does Kolmogorov Complexity deal with the fact that you're specifying that number within a certain execution context (in this case JavaScript)? Otherwise you could simply reduce the program to a single bit and have an interpreter that includes the original program as a primitive. This program without the libraries that it accesses would be a lot larger than it is. Also, shouldn't the number be expressed in bits rather than bytes?

  There is no absolute complexity scale, for the reason you state. There is only relative complexity within a defined domain.

  I think it's fair to assume the brain has some interpretation frameworks as good as javascript/html at least, even if it's a cheesy metaphor.
