My thesis is that McTaggart\u2019s series A and B are process-relations. I demonstrate how McTaggart\u2019s unreality thesis should be replaced by a relativity thesis: Series A and B are relations of processes: asymmetrical and ordered. The coordinate system of time experience is centered in our living body, in its life process, which is directed against entropy increasing: biological arrow. From that flowing position we first experience series of events and they all are ordered in direction past\u2013present\u2013future. From the same position we experience a \u201cbackflow\u201d: we first expect, then perceive, and then remember an event in a series: future\u2013present\u2013past. Life process, directed against entropy increasing, which I call \u201cbiological arrow\u201d is basic explanation of time experience. Time as such does not exist \u2013 only processes (series of states) exist.
