My interpretation is that entropy explains the changes, but the regular ticking of clocks, radioactive decay and other events that we use for measuring time intervals are all dependent on one's inertial frame of reference, according to relativity. (If "regular" is what you mean by "standard") The thing that is "Standard" is the speed of light, in all frames of reference.

Thanks for taking a shot at it. Maybe it boils down to a single question: Is entropy the cause of all change?
Before we can use one change or event as a standard, something causes the change or event to occur. If it's entropy, it's pretty regular and universal.
If we do consider the cause to be entropy, haven't we substituted one cause (time) with another without having gained anything in the way of information?
