Popis: We present new applications of parity inversion and time-reversal to the emergence of complex behavior from simple dynamical rules in stochastic discrete models. Our parity-based encoding of causal relationships and time-reversal construction efficiently reveal discrete analogs of stable and unstable manifolds. We demonstrate their predictive power by studying decision-making in systems biology and statistical physics models. These applications underpin a novel attractor identification algorithm implemented for Boolean networks under stochastic dynamics. Its speed enables resolving a longstanding open question of how attractor count in critical random Boolean networks scales with network size, and whether the scaling matches biological observations. Via 80-fold improvement in probed network size ($N=16,384$), we find the surprisingly low scaling exponent of $0.12\pm 0.05$ -- approximately one tenth the analytical upper bound. We demonstrate a general principle: a system's relationship to its time-reversal and state-space inversion constrains its repertoire of emergent behaviors.
