Algebraical Entropy and Arrow of Time
Usually, it is supposed that irreversibility of time appears only in macrophysics. Here, we attempt to introduce the microphysical arrow of time assuming that at a fundamental level nature could be non-associative.

Entropy, Information and Complexity or Which Aims the Arrow of Time? [PDF]
In this article, we analyze the interrelationships among such notions as entropy, information, complexity, order and chaos and show using the theory of categories how to generalize the second law of thermodynamics as a law of increasing generalized ...

The idea that entropy is associated with the “arrow of time” has its roots in Clausius’s statement on the Second Law: “Entropy of the Universe always increases.” However, the explicit association of the entropy with time’s arrow arises from Eddington. In

Arrow of Time, Entropy, and Protein Folding: Holistic View on Biochirality
Chirality is a universal phenomenon, embracing the space–time domains of non-organic and organic nature. The biological time arrow, evident in the aging of proteins and organisms, should be linked to the prevalent biomolecular chirality. This hypothesis drives our exploration of protein aging, in relation to the biological aging of an organism.

Beyond the Arrow of Time: Can There Be a Relation between the Measurement of Entropy and Time? [PDF]
The general tendency of the entropy of an isolated to increase is considered to be directly linked to the direction of the flow of time. This raises the question whether a quantitative relation can be established such that a time interval can be measured

Entropy, Biological Evolution and the Psychological Arrow of Time
We argue that in Universes where future and past differ only by the entropy content a psychological arrow of time pointing in the direction of entropy increase can arise from natural selection in biological evolution. We show that this effect can be demonstrated in very simple toy computer simulations of evolution in an entropy increasing or decreasing

Pre-bangian origin of our entropy and time arrow [PDF]
I argue that, in the chaotic version of string cosmology proposed recently, classical and quantum effects generate, at the time of exit to radiation, the correct amount of entropy to saturate a Hubble (or holography) entropy bound (HEB) and to identify, within our own Universe, the arrow of time.

Entropy and the arrow of time in population dynamics
The concept of entropy in statistical physics is related to the existence of irreversible macroscopic processes. In this work, we explore a recently introduced entropy formula for a class of stochastic processes with more than one absorbing state that is extensively used in population genetics models.
