[[Proper Time|Time]] does not "flow" on its own. For any [[System]], the direction of time is the result of spending [[Energy]] to maintain identity.
Because every [[Translation]] is irreversible and costs [[Energy]], the "Arrow of Time" is simply the record of [[Energy]] already spent.

## RRT Formalization
**Ref:** [[Relational Resolution Theory (RRT)]], Section III.1.
**Logic:** Experienced time is the emergent result of active error correction against the flux of the [[Format]].
___
## In the Equation
**"The Vector"**
The [[Local Arrow]] is the experienced direction of [[Proper Time|time]], created by the irreversible expenditure of [[Energy]] during [[Translation]].
