The second law provides increasing complexity
and interaction by breaking things down into smaller
units. The increasing variability and interaction that
results are the driving forces for self-organization and
evolution. This tentative 'fourth law' of thermodynamics
provides symmetry with the second.

Please tell me you've completed no coursework that takes anything more than
a cursory glance at thermodynamics. I'd hate to think that at some point
you were provided with a correct definition of the Second Law.
Probably no subject has spawned as much bull**** about the Second Law as
biology. Thank you for playing.

Biology provides one of the rare exceptions to the 2nd law.
Biochemical molecules and processes are very improbable states
arising in states of chemical chaos evident in Universe.
