Index note state-space trajectories, open vs closed loops

Reversible stuff can be formed again and again. Although, there is stuff that is irreversible.
Reversible stuff can itself fall to itself, leading to reversability.
Reversible stuff can fall to itself by utilizing some non-reversible stuff.
and Irreversible processes driven by reversible processes, or irreversible processes driven by irreversible processes.

We can identify the concepts we know of as reversible or irreversible. Some examples could be: atoms, for e.g. are reversible, they can go to same state, although time is irreversible, which is needed by the atoms to fall back to its state. Motion is reversible, although it would take energy which could be irreversible. If we talk about complex stuff, that is for example, made of atoms, it could be reversible depending if the process responsible for constructing the complex stuff is reversible. In reality, I think time does not exist, as it is a construct of mind responsible for defining motion, or in a sense, time is motion itself, of any entity. We would not perceive if the time is stopped. But if we include the concept of time, it is spent in running the process, hence time is irreversible and is used by the stuff to revert to itself.

If we choose to view it as a space representation of state to describe the process, an irreversible process is a one sided trajectory with open ends, while reversible process is a closed loop trajectory or a both-directions forward-and-reverse open ended trajectory. What matters is the state can attain itself again and again for reversible process. The forces are responsible for moving the state from one end to another, and those could be conceptualized for understanding. If these forces are spent forever, they are irreversible forces driving a reversible process, if not, they are reversible process driving reversible process, if they don’t destroy the process they are acting on.

… it never ends …
