I agree with this, and I’d reify it as a game that self-scales self-reliant communities.

“Truth lives in complexity and contradiction. To liberate the world and ourselves, we must be able to hold two opposites in our minds at the same time, recognizing that neither is sufficient and yet both are necessary.”

We might distinguish complicated from complex and equate it with contradictory. In that regard, complex systems are not necessarily complicated, so we might look to identify the smallest iterative form that will scale, but then expect the emerging system to be both complex and contradictory. This strategy might permit us to manage the system by tweaking the iterative component.
