Understanding the conditions under which complex systems are stable is pivotal for understanding their response to perturbations. Theoretical work has shown that for global interactions between components a minimal complex system is stable if the standard deviation of linearised interaction rates is sufficiently small. In biological systems, which often contain a small number of important and interactions are mediated by diffusing agents, stochasticity and non-locality may influence stability. Here, we generalise these results to stochastic, spatial systems with interaction on multiple length scales. Starting from a microscopic description we derive a coarse-grained field theory and identify a transition between a regime defined by giant density fluctuations and one exhibiting a spatial instability with a finite wave length. The latter is suppressed by non-reciprocity in the interactions between components. Our work provides a rigorous framework to infer collective dynamics and stability in complex systems, with applications ranging from ecosystems to morphogenesis.
