As complexity increases, an increase randomness is a necessary outcome. I can't think of a truly complex system that is deterministic, whereas something could be of fractal complexity and relatively high part count, yet could be completely deterministic. The definition of random has to do with probability distributions. I would add a system isn't chaotic UNTIL such randomness occurs. I agree, we are probably talking about the same idea with different trip points. To me complexity, by definition, must involve some aspect of randomness (evolving from the complexity) to be chaotic. You seem to say that complexity (maybe being fractal) alone is enough. I'll have to look around to see what my various books say about it.
