Response to Comments on "Simple Measure for Complexity"

Abstract

We respond to the comment by Crutchfield, Feldman and Shalizi and that by Binder and Perry, pointing out that there may be many maximum entropies, and therefore ``disorders'' and ``simple complexities''. Which ones are appropriate depend on the questions being addressed. ``Disorder'' is not restricted to be the ratio of a nonequilibrium entropy to the corresponding equilibrium entropy; therefore, ``simple complexity'' need not vanish for all equiibrium systems, nor must it be nonvanishing for a nonequilibrium system.
