One the question of Time:

There are several ways to look at Time, these days. One of course is indeed
a high level intellectual pattern that allows us to view events in a linear
fashion. Without it, we wouldn't know if something had already happened or
was going to. I think you could even trace this back to biology, since
without a linear sense of time, a species would have a hell of a time trying
to work in the world.

However there is also another line of time, that by which entropy increases
in the universe. I would say this is an inorganic pattern of value. Second
law of thermodynamics and that jazz(Entropy in a closed system always
increases, for those who don't know). Basically, the universe is a closed
system, and thus the entropy within the universe is always increasing,
forward in time.

So I would say the direction of time is an inorganic pattern, but the
perception and interpretation of time is probably intellectual.
