System complexity and errors

As you increase the complexity of a system, you also increase the frequency of errors. Increase in abstraction comes at a cost of decrease in robustness. Increased complexity leads to more frequent occurrence of errors.

When you increase the complexity of a system, you are basically increasing the number of states and making it more difficult to distinguish between two distinct states. When two distinct states start of overlap, error is created.

A highly complex system is therefore prone to error occurrences.
