Reading and the Irreversibility of Traversal — Kasei-Theory, Series II, Vol.4

This chapter fixes irreversibility as a structural condition within configuration. Irreversibility is not primitive and is not generated. It is defined as the closure of return paths within configuration. It does not consist in temporal succession or causal process. Closure does not eliminate difference but renders connections inoperative. Prior states are not structurally accessible. Irreversibility does not consist in change, duration, or flow. It is fixed as the configuration in which return paths are closed and prior states are not accessible.
