[I]n general relativistic observations there is no preferred independent time variable. What we measure are a number of variables, all on equal footing, and their relative evolution. ...[I]t can be equally read it as the evolution of the variable T<sub>1</sub> as a function of the variable T<sub>2</sub>, or viceversa. Which of the two is the independent variable here?

The thermal time hypothesis. In nature, there is no preferred physical time variable t. There are no equilibrium states ρ<sub>0</sub> preferred a priori. Rather, all variables are equivalent; we can find the system in an arbitrary state ρ; if the system is in a state ρ, then a preferred variable is singled out by the state of the system. This variable is what we call time.
