Quantum Time Reversal Does Not Imply Temporal Inversion: An Admissibility Analysis of Time Manipulation Claims

This paper evaluates claims that quantum systems demonstrate reversal of time. Applying the Paton Admissibility Framework, it is shown that such experiments reflect controlled reconfiguration of state trajectories rather than inversion of temporal structure. Time is defined as an ordering of admissible transitions, and no admissible mechanism supports full temporal reversal. The result is a structural clarification: quantum “time reversal” represents admissible reconstruction within constraint, not reversal of time itself.
