I would define complexity as the interaction between autonomous agents. An ecosystem is surely the prime example, with the multiple destinies of multiple species playing out in a circumscribed milieu, with limited resources, and so inevitably one at the expense of the other – or with one being the (unwilling) resource of the other. One might say that evolution is the unknowing arbitrator of the process as it throws out non-intentional permutations which allow each species to gain possible advantages.
