The author identifies a Law of Requisite Cognitive Capacity in human communication, conflict resolution, and cooperation solicitation. Based on Ashby's Law of the Requisite Variety and Jaques's theory of cognitive capacity and by combining the author's previous work on the cognitive model of improving communication efficiency, a quantitative limitation for people to understand each other can be identified.
