Right, which is why I listed it as a separate arrow. If, however, it
does turn out to be an effect of the same cause as entropy increase,
which there is mounting experimental evidence to support, then it's not
a biological quirk; it would, in fact, be physically impossible to build
a memory that works in the direction of decreasing entropy.
