Complexity and the chaos caused by complexity are certainly factors that cause disasters and require damage control. It also provides renegades more opportunities to disrupt normal operations when law fails to serve the public rather the plutocratic elite.

But this doesn't mean theres a direct causal relationship between complexity and societal failure.

Think of Isla Nublar and the cloned dinosaurs that were able to reproduce, migrate off the island and survive outside containment despite the systems that were emplaced to prevent them from doing so.
