R. M. Kiehn "Retrodictive Determinism" Int. J. of Eng. Sci. 1976 Vol.14, p. 749

Abstract: With respect to irreversible , non-homeomorphic maps, contravariant and covariant tensor fields have distinctly different natural covariance and transformational behavior. For thermodynamic processes which are non-adiabatic, the fact that the irreversible process cannot be represented by a homeomorphic map emphasizes the logical arrow of time, an idea which encompasses a principle of retrodictive determinism for covariant tensor fields.
