In this paper we revisit the notion of sophistication for infinite sequences. Koppel defined sophistication of an object as the length of the shortest (finite) total program (p) that with some (finite or infinite) data (d) produce it and |p|+ |d| is smaller than the shortest description of the object plus a constant. However the notion of “description of infinite sequences” is not appropriately...
