I totally agree Linda, the instant you try and define the present, it has already become the past. And because the past seems to be such a difficult thing return to, the future is, in reality, all that we have. This direction which time is traveling can be closely associated with the character of Entropy. I therefore surmise that time is evidence that chance has occured and is closley related to the character of Entropy because they are both unidirectional.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
