Primes

• Dissipation
  • Penrose (1989) extends this reasoning to cosmological scale by framing the thermodynamic arrow of time as a structural consequence of the dispersal of low-entropy initial conditions across many degrees of freedom — the universe-scale instance of the same counterfactual the engineer runs at the turbine.
• Irreversibility
  • Penrose's Weyl curvature hypothesis

    This sourceConnects microscopic irreversibility to cosmological structure.

• Meta-Symbolic Reflection
  • Critics (Penrose 1989

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
