8 Entropy Report This depicts the number of potentially limiting values per level in the Current Culture that were chosen by the survey participants. These represent all the potentially limiting values that were chosen and so may not be included in the top ten values on the Values Plot. Potentially limiting values are found only at levels, and. This is a reflection of the degree of disorder within a system.
