The paper demonstrates the interconnectedness of multiple arrows of time, suggesting a fundamental unity in quantum systems.

This work aims to unify different arrows of time and establish a typicality-free second law within Quantum Traction Theory.
Introduced a monotone counting of world-cell address assignments along time ticks.
Derived a co-orientation identity connecting the thermodynamic, cosmological, and baryonic arrows.
Analyzed the implications of a least tick and a Z2 time-orientation choice on entropy.
Establishes a typicality-free second law: dS/dT = kB dNaddr/dT ≥ 0.
Derives a Past Hypothesis, linking global entropy to the earliest state.
Shows that multiple arrows of time are governed by a single orientation σ.
