Bosonic degrees of freedom and their emergence as part of complex quantum many-body dynamics, symmetries, collective behavior, clustering, and phase transitions play an important role in modern studies of quantum systems. In this paper, we present a systematic study of many-boson systems governed by random interactions. Our findings show that ground states of randomly interacting bosons are not random, being dominated by a few collective configurations containing condensates of clusters.
