Searching for the insight to a GENERAL PRINCIPLE OR LAW of a complex system (or even any general system), to describe those JUST-RIGHT CONDITIONS (sometimes called Goldilocks principle) which lead to tipping points, emergence of new properties, new thresholds, order out of chaos

With
@stephen_wolfram's idea of computational irreducibility (most things in the universe cannot be predicted), the solution is running simulations using a large set of simple rules and finding interesting cases, and then figuring out how those can be explained... -
But somewhere, there should arise knowledge about some recurring principles behind those interesting cases... I don't know... some more things like Feigenbaum's Universality (Feigenbaum constants) Can anything special be said about Rule 30, from its rules alone?

It relates to the cascading rate doublings leading up to chaotic regimes. Well not just that. Sufficient complexity in the behavior hits a different threshold of emergent information exchange (intelligence).

hmm... but do we have any principle to tell what is "Sufficient" before-hand?
