I think it might be a mistake to expect something like ESP, which remains unsubstantiated by science, to conform to the laws of thermodynamics, which are only presumptively universal.

If you're working on the assumption that ESP exists, then you have necessarily already discarded many of the contemporary axioms which provide the basis for modern scientific analysis.

In other words- there's no reason to expect that supernatural phenomena conform to the laws of thermodynamics.
