Does Indeterminism Give Rise to an Intrinsic Time Arrow?

Shahar Dolev, Avshalom C. Elitzur, Meir Hemmo

abstract: In any physical theory that admits true indeterminism, the thermodynamic arrow of time can arise regardless of the system's initial conditions. Hence on such theories time's arrow emerges out of the basic physical interactions. The example of the GRW theory is studied in detail.
