摘要翻译：
在[Sch05a]中，有人认为玻尔兹曼的直觉是正确的，即时间的心理学箭头必然与热力学箭头一致。舒尔曼为这种联系给出了一个明确的物理机制，基于大脑可以表现为计算机，以及计算过程的某些热力学性质。[Haw94]提出了类似的论点，如果更简短的话。本文的目的是批判性地检验热力学和计算机时间箭头之间联系的支持。舒尔曼和霍金提出的主要论点将被证明是失败的。我们将证明，在熵增加的宇宙中可以发生的任何计算过程，都同样可以在熵减少的宇宙中发生。这个结论并不自动地暗示心理学箭头可以与热力学箭头背道而驰。将简要讨论两个箭头对齐的一些替代可能的解释。

英文摘要：
In [Sch05a], it is argued that Boltzmann's intuition, that the psychological arrow of time is necessarily aligned with the thermodynamic arrow, is correct. Schulman gives an explicit physical mechanism for this connection, based on the brain being representable as a computer, together with certain thermodynamic properties of computational processes. [Haw94] presents similar, if briefer, arguments. The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the support for the link between thermodynamics and an arrow of time for computers. The principal arguments put forward by Schulman and Hawking will be shown to fail. It will be shown that any computational process that can take place in an entropy increasing universe, can equally take place in an entropy decreasing universe. This conclusion does not automatically imply a psychological arrow can run counter to the thermodynamic arrow. Some alternative possible explana- tions for the alignment of the two arrows will be briefly discussed.
