Summary/Abstract: Тhe complexity of messages, their readability or understandability and the subjective feeling for aesthetic value have interesting interrelations. In our research we claim that in natural languages, perceived as a multimodal complex whole, in formal languages, and in mathematics as a metalanguage, messages in individual modalities that convey maximum information with minimum complexity are more difficult to perceive (less readable), but are aesthetically more attractive; while if the message is multimodal, it is both more readable and more beautiful.
