In his September 1967 paper Possibility of Experimental Study of the Properties of Time (JPRS #45238), N. A. Kozyrev appeals to the experimental discovery of parity nonconservation in weak interactions as corroboration for his claim that time has an objective direction and a pseudo-scalar pattern. The appeal is analogical rather than derivational: Kozyrev uses the existence of a mirror-asymmetric physical process to argue that a mirror-asymmetric time pattern is not implausible. It is not a derivation of his framework and supplies no quantitative link to it.
What Kozyrev appeals to
Kozyrev cites the weak-interaction parity-violation experiments associated with T. D. Lee and C. N. Yang. The JPRS translation renders the names as "Lie and Young" — a translation artifact, not a distinct pair of researchers; the identification with Lee and Yang is inferred from context rather than stated in the source.
The appeal is used to support the broader claim that a physically meaningful distinction between left and right exists in nature, which Kozyrev connects to the pseudo-scalar sign of the time pattern C₂. See Time Pattern as a Pseudo-Scalar (C₂) and Time Directivity.
Role in the argument
The appeal supports his pseudo-scalar treatment of C₂ and his directivity axiom.
The paper's own caveat
The paper itself concedes that "one can never make the opposite conclusion" from parity nonconservation: numerous interpretations of parity-violation phenomena remain possible. The parity appeal is therefore analogical, not derivational, and no quantitative link between parity-violating weak processes and the proposed time-pattern effects is given.
Related biological asymmetry
Kozyrev also cites Louis Pasteur on the chemical asymmetry of protoplasm, and predicts mirror-world consequences: a heart on the right, leftward mollusk shells, and an opposite molecular inequality. This is a further analogical extension rather than a measured result.
Assessment
The source cites the parity experiments only as intellectual context; it does not derive any of its own results from them, and no quantitative link is given. The source provides no experimental bridge between parity nonconservation and the causal-mechanics framework. The parity discussion functions as motivation and analogy; readers should not treat it as evidence for the framework's claims. See Causal Mechanics (Kozyrev's Asymmetrical Mechanics), Causal Mechanics (Kozyrev's Asymmetrical Mechanics), and N. A. Kozyrev.
