The Gradient of Clustering, the Increase of Entropy
Tbu: I'm increasingly attracted to this model where there isn't a janus point, but the same effect really comes er for anybody in the universe. If if these ideas are right, then we explain why the universe started in such an incredibly uniform way. Tbu: You could think about this in terms of what you call gradients. There's the collapse of the wave function and the increase of entropy,. things like that. And i don't think anybody really doubts that the way we accumulate arrows also agrees with the direction in which entropy increases. The one to do with us forming memories, and when you can talk about entropy properly that should go in the same direction.
