Living creatures are very complex but the energy they use can be traced from their food. I don't know why living creatures are not able to nanofabricate subsystems that get energy by getting around the Second Law on the nanometer scale; such creatures would not need food. One answer is that

One great thing Alexander the great did was slice away a complicated knot that got in his way. I've heard enough about the Second Law to assert that it won't stop several types of nanometer scale devices and one type of bulk device from working. Let's build some working 2LoT circumventing

Life is both constructive and productive. However, our culture does not have a balanced appreciation of both. Productive processes and measures are over emphasised. The laws of thermodynamics address the productive aspects of life. They fail to address the constructive aspects of life. Harry

It just occurred to me that with two containers of warm water it would be possible to make one steam and the other freeze with a heat pump. Of course that requires energy from outside the system. So, make that a self powered heat pump, hum, perhaps one that repairs itself too. ---
