***>Why do we believe that both the past and the future are not
completely random, but the future is more random than the past?
I didn't know we believed that *grin*.***

- don’t agree.
The question above is one (as well the others) of Wei Dai's 1998
'everything' mailing list. Though the decade passed, the question
remains non-trivial and so – actual.
If you have read the link
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0703043 , V5
(and the first couple of pages in V1) then it is possible that you
note the problem: when fundamental set 'Information' is so 'wild' –
then why (and how) in this set can exist some 'stable' sub-sets, e.g.
– our Universe, somebody’s consciousness, etc.-?
Including – under uninterrupted interactions of a sub-set (as whole
and of it’s elements) with total Set the subset’s history is indeed
random; but – not totally random; – why?
Some answers on the question under the inform concept seem as:
(1) the Universe is 'stable' since it’s components (first of all –
elementary particles) are some cyclic informational closed loop
structures, some analogs of closed loop systems of electronic
logical elements that infinitely repeats the cycle, and so are 'all-
sufficient'; when larger structures (planet systems, galaxies. etc.) –
tend to build also closed loop cycles and so 'to be all-sufficient'.
(2) when Universe’s history is a random Markov process, to follow the
past we can use known, to some extent, data; when for prognosis
such information is much smaller.
Etc...
Cheers
