Here I dsagree. My thought emerges, but it is immaterial and I have to use symbolic letters to make words to express that thought to you. The written words have material substance, but the thoughts transmitted do not. Yes there is energy activity in your brain and mine to accomplish this transmission, but the thoughts I send and you receive do not have an energy component as an intrinsic portion of the thought. First law? No.-Here we go off topic ... as a substance dualist you will have to show me with some degree corroborating evidence that either a) a thought is anything but an arrangement of compounds ions etc in your brain or b) that the thought is indeed immaterial and somehow your brain can write to the thought and vice versa without using energy.
