Order can be created locally at the expense of greater global disorder.
This happens at the edge of chaos. Too much energy and an ordered system gets blown apart. Not enough and nothing changes. But on the boundary between the two you have enough activity for things to change, but the chance to settle into relatively stable states. This is where you get localised islands of ordered complexity exporting their disorder.
