Abstract
We relate the structure factor in a system of jammed hard spheres of number density to its complexity per particle by the formula . We have verified this formula for the case of jammed disks in a narrow channel, for which it is possible to find and analytically. Hyperuniformity, which is the vanishing of , will therefore not occur if the complexity is nonzero. An example is given of a jammed state of hard disks in a narrow channel which is hyperuniform when generated by dynamical rules that produce a non-extensive complexity.
