No, within a closed system, such as a perfectly sealed sphere, the second law of thermodynamics dictates that the entropy of the system as a whole cannot decrease. The entropy of a system is a measure of the system's disorder or the number of microstates available to it.

If you have two perfectly sealed spherical areas within each other, the total entropy of the combined system cannot decrease. This means that the entropy within the smaller enclosed area cannot violate the entropy within the larger enclosed area.

According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time or, at best, remain constant. So, the entropy within the smaller enclosed area may increase, but the total entropy of the system, including both areas, must remain constant or increase.

It's worth noting that while local entropy fluctuations are possible within a closed system, any decrease in entropy in one part of the system must be offset by an equal or greater increase in entropy elsewhere in the system, maintaining the overall entropy of the system.
