how is that complex?

Assuming you are referring to the Mandelbrot Set in the previous post, it is highly complex because the number of bits required to represent it completely is greater that the number needed to describe the matter/energy composition of the known universe.
Even the first iteration result is more complex than the original formula.

yeah, but the generating formula is very simple and contains all that information.

I disagree. The information is an emergent property of the function, not a constituent of it.
The complexity of the function is simply that of fewer than twenty symbols selected from an alphabet of fewer than 100.
