I think that consciousness is the only thing that tethers the 2nd law of thermodynamics

If we do not consider determinism to be true. I think that consciousness and the ability to act with self will is the only thing that makes time progress forward linearly. I think this because if you think about a waterfall or an asteroid colliding on a planet. If we know the full state of everything. The electron energy levels. Momentum and energy in all forms. Then we could know what the frame right before that was. But if a person was waiving their hand in the distance then it’s impossible to know the conscious state of the person right before this current frame, the hand may keep moving down or it may reverse and head the other way that decision is not physics based, it’s completely independent to the system.
