Every large random aggregate contains many small ordered aggrates.

I'll accept that as mathematically plausible.
"islands in a storm" basically

however, though their existence can be considered axiomatic, and may be statistically predictable as a proportion of the whole set, the locations, durations, and intensities of these individual ordered bits cannot be predicted.

I dunno why folks find the blend ind interpenetration of order and disorder so fundamentally offensive.
