Logical arrow of time, 6.1.3

.

The source of the macroscopic time asymmetry, aka the second law of thermodynamics, is the difference between prediction and retrodiction.

.

In a prediction, the deduction direction is the same as the physical/observer time direction.

.

In a retrodiction, the deduction direction is opposite to the physical/observer time direction.

.

In other words:

In a prediction, the meta-time direction is the same as the object-time direction.

In a retrodiction, the meta-time direction is opposite to the object-time direction.

— guess —

If a retrodiction is done by a time-opposite observer, he will see the entropy increasing. For him, he is really making a prediction.

How to create a time-inverted observer?

.

Just invert the retrodiction direction.

.

Retrodiction to a backward-time observer is just equivalent to retrodiction-for-backward-time to a forward-time observer.

.

However, retrodiction-for-backward-time is just prediction.

.

In other words, retrodiction to a backward-time observer is equivalent to a prediction for a normal time direction observer.

That’s why

If a retrodiction is done by a time-opposite observer, he will see the entropy increasing. For him, he is really making a prediction.
