  We consider a multi-dimensional extension of the Thomas-R\"ossler (TR)
systems, that was inspired by Thomas' earlier work on biological feedback
circuits, and we report on our first results that shows its ability to sustain
a spatio-temporal behaviour, reminiscent of chimera states. The novelty here
being that its underlying mechanism is based on "chaotic walks" discovered by
Ren\'e Thomas during the course of his investigations on what he called
Labyrinth Chaos. We briefly review the main properties of TR systems and their
chaotic and hyperchaotic dynamics and discuss the simplest way of coupling,
necessary for this spatio-temporal behaviour that allows the emergence of
complex dynamical behaviours. We also recall Ren\'e Thomas' memorable influence
and interaction with the authors as we dedicate this work to his memory.
