Well then, here's a pretty interesting example of complex visual patterns arising from relatively simple systems: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pubs/paper249/PAPER249.HTM

One physicist (Wolfram) maintains that natures rules are quite simple (I prefer "elegant"), and that beautifully complex patterns can arise from these. http://www.ur.umich.edu/0203/Oct14_02/m_wolfram.shtml

Alternatively, it seems intuitive that when given a complex system (or a multitude of parameters) that objects within the system will have less room for deviation from these given parameters.

Let's take baseball as an example. With its plethora of rules, only a few possible outcomes can occur, and the game is actually quite simple. All agents operating within the system can only act along the limitations given by the rules, and because there are so many, there is little room for deviation.
