However, the laws of Quantitative Science do not generally include the Arrow of Time. It is shown that this is because the Arrow of Time is a qualitative feature of nature that cannot be captured by Quantitative Science. To capture the Arrow of Time, a Qualitative Paradigm of Science is introduced that is a generalisation of the Mathematical Philosophy of Nature underpinning Quantitative Science. Within this paradigm, the Arrow of Time is captured in a new universal Law of Nature – the Universal Arrow of Time. Since Quantitative Science cannot capture the Arrow of Time, the special sciences cannot in general be reduced to Quantitativ...
