Nonlinear Mathematics Of Tohu & Bohu
ומאי בהו אלא תהו היתה וחזרה
Sefer HaBahir, verse 2 excerpt
Traditional interpretation: "What is bohu (desolation)? It is something that has substance."
Liorah's second interpretation: "And what is bohu, but tohu sent out and iterating."
ומאי and what is
בהו bohu
אלא but
תהו tohu
היתה sent out (projected out)
וחזרה and ITERATING (repeating repetitively), [1]
Clearly then, bohu is the clarity-producing complexity "in it" which results from the nonlinear dynamical iterations of tohu.
Simple.

[1] חזרה can mean "return", "repetition" and/or "rehearsal", New Bantam-Megiddo Dictionary
