We're a long way from that situation. In order to explain the AOT as it
applies to the matter and energy that make up most of the universe, we need
to explain how it comes to be arranged as it does, in arrangements that we
are far from thermodynamic equilibrium. (And any situation that raises the
maximum entropy available for matter and energy in terms of possible
configurations is therefore relevant, regardless of whether it affects the
theoretical maximum involving black holes.)
