We respond to the comment by Crutchfield, Feldman, and Shalizi [Comment in
this issue, Phys. Rev. E 62, 2996 (2000)] and that by Binder and Ferry [pre
ceding Comment, Phys. Rev. E 62, 2998 (2000)], pointing out that there may
be many maximum entropies, and therefore "disorders" and "simple complexiti
es." 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 equilibrium systems, nor must it be nonvanishing for a
nonequilibrium system.
