This is an interesting finding, but not entirely unexpected.  For
years I've been reading stuff which promoted the idea that living
systems are often balanced on the edge between order and chaos.  It
makes sense to be in such a state, since only a small amount of
cognitive energy is required in order to push the system into one
behavior (limit cycle) or another.
