Can the master time asymmetry in nature be electrodynamic in origin?

Summary

If the electrodynamic measurement process is operationally described by imposing measurement color onto classical electrodynamics, self-energy infinities are eliminated and a retarded electrodynamic time arrow emerges dynamically from internal dynamic-stability conditions. This occurs because the new formalism containsnonlocal radiation fields which carry anegative parity under mathematical time reversal. This result is shown to be compatible with an extended form ofT andCPT symmetry which preserves the dynamically chosen retarded electrodynamic arrow of time in the measurement color electrodynamic formalism.
