Abstract: It is shown that the changes in the Entropy of any ensemble of isolated and localized non-relativistic quantum systems that occur with the passage of time are those which increase monotonically in value only at isolate time-instants suggestive of an underlying temporal discreteness associated with the temporally-asymmetric and discontinuous strictly-irreversible evolution of the ensemble's statistical operator.
