Based on the preponderance of simpler life extant, I think the tendency towards higher complexity is less than inexorable. Intelligence evolved as part of the group of traits necessary to survive being more complex, I believe, & that the fact of complex life demands more of the same. I think also that the "spark" is inherent to varying degrees for a goodly distance down the ladder. As to why, I'm not even sure why I think that.
I wasn't able to read your first link on this computer...I'll look at it elsewhere.
