It's necessary to define what organ8zation means, before asking what its maximum might be.

Jürgen Weippert

Well, in the thermodynamic sense, the maximum of organization would be the hypothetical perfect crystal in the third law of thermodynamics whose entropy would be 0 at 0K.

Nicholas Hoggard

Apologies for the confused question. I was equating organisation with complexity.
