#### 5. Thermodynamics and the Arrow of Time: From the Autaxic Landscape Navigation - The arrow of time, the observed increase in entropy, can be reinterpreted within the `Ω` landscape. While the Autaxic Action principle maximizes `∫ L_A dt`, this doesn't necessarily mean the universe moves towards states of ever-increasing global `L_A` at every step. The `L_A` landscape is complex, with local minima and maxima. Early universe states (`G_0`) might be simple (low C) but also low in potential stability (low S), leading to relatively low `L_A`. As the universe evolves, it generates more complex structures (increasing C), which *can* potentially support much higher levels of stability (S). T
