"Complexity" is not a magic force that must be conserved. In any system that has both an energy gradient and a path for that energy to travel that is not isotropic, complexity will emerge as entropy increases. That holds whether the system in question is a pool of water with a bumpy downhill slope or an entire ecosystem. https://theconversation.com/emergence-the-remarkable-simplicity-of-complexity-30973 https://theconversation.com/emergence-the-remarkable-simplic...
