In an abstract setting of a general classical mechanical system as a modelfor the universe we set up a general formalism for a law behind the second lawof thermodynamics, i.e. really for "initial conditions". We propose aunification with the other laws by requiring similar symmetry and localityproperties.Comment: 17 page
