Measuring system complexity is challenging. One of the best ideas is Kolmogorov complexity (in my opinion), but properly computing it requires a distinction between the complexity of processes/algorithms and the complexity of the data these processes apply to

Toss up between brain and financial markets. People are more aware of the usually fractal complexity of systems they're familiar with.

answers will bias towards “least understood,” which is not precisely “most complex”

Any particular reason why mitosis and financial markets were chosen as options?

Mitosis from a zygote ~expands to the human being (brain included), which ~expands to financial markets. Mathematics can probably be condensed into a few rules like (Turing complete) lambda calculus. Then mitosis: λx.xx

I wonder if by 2nd of Thermo a system can not create a more complex sub-system than itself, as it would be going against “greater disorder”. If so, no human-created system can be the most complex, as then humans would out-complex it. But what do I know.
