This is something I'm interested in as well (also being interested in Zen and systems theory).

There's an interpretation of QM called hidden variables theory that essentially states that the probabilistic nature of quantum behaviour is due to QM being emergent behaviour from lower variables that we haven't discerned. It isn't in vogue, but it fits a systems perspective perfectly. Through this lens QM is a dynamical system, though perhaps not chaotic (I'm still not sure as to the boundary between dynamical and chaotic behaviour given both imply complex nonlinear causality).

But then, a big issue with QM is that it's unintuitive, so that's probably confirmation bias on my part.

Thanks, I'll look into hidden variables.
