Thermodynamics and the Ontology of Time: Conservation and the Arrow in Block and Evolving Block Models

The question in focus

Examines how conservation and thermodynamic irreversibility relate to block and evolving-block interpretations of time.

Scope & open questions

• Does not rule out the block universe: it explicitly accepts its consistency with conservation and thermodynamics.
• Arguments for an evolving block concern interpretation and explanatory preference, not an experimental discrimination.
