This work investigates whether coherent global structure can emerge under conditions deliberately biased toward instability, disorder, and entropy amplification. Using a large-scale emergent-dynamics simulation with strong nonlocal interactions, explicit feedback amplification, and vanishingly small stochastic noise, the system was subjected to extreme destabilizing pressure. Contrary to conventional expectations, the dynamics consistently converged toward a compact, stable causal configuration selected from an initial configuration space exceeding two million candidates. The emergent structure exhibits zero topological variance, high global stability, and internally consistent measures of complexity, self-similarity, and causal density. The results demonstrate that robust causal organization can arise without equilibrium assumptions, classical dynamical constraints, or predefined structural templates. These findings support the existence of deep attractor-driven organizing principles in far-from-equilibrium systems and suggest that certain forms of global order may be intrinsic outcomes of sufficiently expressive interaction dynamics under extreme entropy pressure.
