Yoshino, Shiho: Irreversible Flow as Time — Physical Laws, Regularity, and the Structure of Continuous Self —

Time is not merely a segmented construct of human consciousness, but an irreversible, one-directional flow generated by physical laws. We exist as continuous beings drifting within this vast stream. Past events are not “stored” somewhere; they are embedded in the flow, continuously shaping the structure of our present selves.
