Short and dirty explanation:
There is an environment within the organism. Of particular importance as it relates to schizophrenia would be the environment of the cell, both the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm, where chaotic events analogous to mutations can occur that lead to the differential turning on and turning off of key genes as the progenetor cells of the nervous system are dividing and activating during development.
