This happens at the edge of chaos. Too much energy and an ordered system gets blown apart. Not enough and nothing changes. But on the boundary between the two you have enough activity for things to change, but the chance to settle into relatively stable states. This is where you get localised islands of ordered complexity exporting their disorder.

Ok, that makes sense. And kind what I thought. So at the state of singularity, everything was more ordered, but with the inflation distance and cooling created more disorder and order became more localized.
