In this paper, we put forward an alternative interpretation of time-reversal symmetry in philosophy of physics: time-reversal symmetry. According to it, time-reversal symmetry is understood as a heuristic, epistemic virtue of the best system, not as a property of the Humean mosaic. One of the consequences of this view is that one of the main arguments against a primitive direction of time is rendered harmless, which paves the way for primitivism about the direction of time.
在本文中,我们在物理学哲学中提出了对时间反演对称性的另一种解释:时间反演对称性。据此,时间反演对称性被理解为最佳系统的一种启发式的认知优点,而非休谟马赛克的一种属性。这一观点的后果之一是,反对时间原初方向的一个主要论证变得无害了,这为时间方向的原初论铺平了道路。
