Well let me ask you this - let's say that the theory is that time is the change in disorder. You have five particles, let's call them particle A's, and they are in the most ordered state possible. Let's say you make a 'general change' to these particles, for instance switching two particles. Since they are all the same particles, particle A, would this switching of two particles change the order of them? Or would it be like there was no change. Because if there is no change in order, then I would agree and say that a 'general change' and a 'change in disorder' are two seperate ideas for the existence of time. If, however, switching the two particles does change the order, then I would say a 'change in disorder' and a 'general change' are the same thing.
However I still don't think it would matter. If swapping two particles registers no change in order, did anything change at all? If each particle is identical, then switching them around wouldn't change anything. Therefore a general change would be the same as a change in disorder.
