I do say that everything in space/time - whether a live amoeba or a dead amoeba - is subject to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
The live amoeba pays the thermodynamic tab when it successfully communicates (Shannon) - by dissipating heat into the local environment as the receiver (molecular machinery internal to itself) moves from a before state to an after state.
Again, communications is autonomous. The single celled organism is autonomous, self-contained.
In autonomous higher organisms, communications are multi-cellular.
It would be remarkable if something were found to be unaffected by thermodynamics.
But there is a common notion amongst evolution critics that living things degrade as a result of entropy, and that this is an inescapable law of nature.
I'm merely offering a counterexample.
