> The real mystery, for me, is: Why was the initial state of our universe so completely non-chaotic? Here's a possibility: if you "start" at a random state, after enough exploration of the state space, there would be a local minima that was arbitrarily well-ordered. Both directions of time would then view that as the "past", and the other direction as "future". These perceptions as to the arrow of time would last until a state equivalent to heat death is reached, at which point the "arrow" of time would flip around again.
