Abstract

Time is a fundamental concept in physics. It is the first structure among observables that we will discuss. Rather than being postulated as an “a priori concept” with physics formulated in a pregiven time and space, probabilistic time is a powerful concept to order and organize observables. There is no time outside the correlations for the observables of the statistical system.
