1.   In the melt, polymers normally attain a state of maximum entropy consistent with a stable state of minimum free energy.

2.   The state of maximum entropy is the most stable state for an isolated system.

3.   In other words, the principle of maximum work-or maximum entropy production, to give it its formal name-holds true for Mars too.

4.   To reach the point of maximum entropy production the wind speed would have to exceed its physical limit.
