My point is that complexity is a necessary building block. It's not the cart before the horse exactly because I am talking about emerging complexity i.e. increasing complexity in a very specific context namely human brains and computer AI. No one is claiming arbitrary complex systems in arbitrary environments are bound to anything. I am talking about something very specific namely how our brain came to be and how computers seem to be getting closer and closer to our brains. Just like how evolution in itself is not just arbitrary randomness. Unless you are claiming that extremely simple systems can create the kind of consciousness we are talking about here I have a hard time understanding what you are disagreeing with in what I am saying.
