Explain that the laws of thermodynamics only apply within a closed system, and neither the child's room nor your house fit that description.

Then gently but consistently insist the child clean his/her room out of respect for the others living in the house.

Tell them you find their reasoning fascinating and informative.

Then go into their room with large garbage bags and clear the entire mess out.

All the best.
