Ambient complexity
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Ambient complexity was an environmental condition which could cause a regeneration to fail. The solution to the problem of a "busy background" was, according to the TARDIS information system, a Zero Room or an "eminently more effective" real, neutral location like the "habitation" of Castrovalva.
However, because the Tremas Master was manipulating the Doctor's TARDIS at the time Tegan and Nyssa read this information in the Index File, it was possibly inaccurate information. (TV: Castrovalva)
