Psychological Arrow of Time
It is difficult to talk about the psychological arrow of time, because human brain is quite complicated and so far we have not understood its functions thoroughly and totally. However, some portions of thinking is understood in the light of functioning of human memory. The human memory recollects and stores past information but cannot remember the future. The past events are recorded in the mind but not the future ones. This is because of the time's directionality. The constraints imposed on the memory forbids us to peep into the future. It is time's arrow which permits memory to act in this particular way only. The computers are analogously built on the functioning of human memory. Memory is said to be remained in the chaotic form so far as it is unused but becomes orderly when it is put to use. This particular process is related with the nature of knowledge, so more will be said while considering the epistemological dimension of time's arrow.
