Abstract
It is shown that the changes in the Entropy of any ensemble of isolate d and localized non-relativistic quantum systems that occur with the p assage of time are those which increase monotonically in value only at isolated time-instants suggestive of an underlying temporal discreten ess associated with the temporally-asymmetric and discontinuous strict ly-irreversible evolution of the ensemble's statistical operator.
