are not time-reversible

Well, you can’t make them reverse in time, if that’s what you mean, no.

defined by the history of the universe, which is quite independent from human perspective of it.

But there isn’t any history of anything that’s observer-independent. There’s nobody and nothing that’s outside relativity.

That our psychological arrow of time corresponds to this observably-universal “historical” arrow of time also suggests that it’s not merely a “perspective” thing, but how the universe actually works.

Actually, we often perceive things before they happen, which is cool in and of it itself. We also perceive things that don’t happen. But I get what you mean, but not why you think this correspondence is in any way meaningful.

Why such an arrow of time exists is another issue. And I’m not saying it’s an absolute fact either. There’s just nothing to suggest otherwise to me.

Do you think time continues to operate in this same manner inside a singularity, then?
