Give me a synonym for 'unexpectedness', in the context of generators, that isn't hacked together from six affixes.

yeah, wow, this is interesting

I'm very familiar with informational entropy but in the content of a generator's content, I don't think I've seen the word applied
-
*context. I think it'd be too esoteric for this particular use, but I really like the promise of it
-
Huh. That fits rather well with the way I was thinking about information theory and generators...
-
Well there is a bit of a problem: if you are say making something that generates images, the highest entropy generator will be static!

You need something which is about distinguishable differences. This issue is occurs in physics too, see e.g. http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=762

Note for honesty: Brent Werness mentioned in it is me, so I'm not independently interested in this.

That makes sense: Interesting generation takes place in the region between too much order and too much chaos.
