IMM Paper 1: Temporal Asymmetry as a Structural Consequence of Observer Projection

Derives the arrow of time from three structural preconditions of observation. The informational past (fiber Π⁻¹(y)) carries strictly greater structural entropy than the informational future (projected image F(y)). Proven: genericity of non-degeneracy; entropy asymmetry S_past > S_future; dynamical irreversibility; universality across observer types. No thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, or cosmological boundary conditions required.

Abstract

Derives the arrow of time from three structural preconditions of observation. The informational past (fiber Π⁻¹(y)) carries strictly greater structural entropy than the informational future (projected image F(y)). Proven: genericity of non-degeneracy; entropy asymmetry S_past > S_future; dynamical irreversibility; universality across observer types. No thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, or cosmological boundary conditions required.
