So, You are saying that if we modify the second law with chaos theory, this OP experiment does not violate any laws. You do realize that this new arrangement does allow for the legal existence of a self organizing particle based free energy system.
I'm happy with that.
As for the OP title, The old second law that I was taught in collage which had no exceptions / loop holes is no more.

Conservation of energy is the first law of thermal dynamics, which is not in question here. A self organizing particle based free energy system does not need to violate the first law.

Oh dear. Simplest statement: the cat toys used in this experiment eventually ran down. Laws of thermodynamics conserved. Fun take-away: all the cat toys formed many systems that seemed to be organized. Further reference:

Get it?
I thought I would bump this thread because, at this time, there is a on going thread about breaking the laws of physics.

Actually this is not an unknown phenomenon. It's cause is the single most fundamental law of nature. Chaos into order which is the direct opposite of entropy.
I think the key word used here is Emergence... It is a word that will become more and more widely used in the next couple of decades.
Emergent systems exhibit coherent behavior that it's individual components are not directly programmed for.
