First, we do a Taylor series expansion of Entropy. Afterwards we define the arrow of time. After that, we define what terms we will analyze in the Taylor series expansion of entropy to help in finding initial conditions which may allow for the earliest possible identification of the Arrow of Time in cosmology. Definition of the arrow of time will allow choosing different initial starting points. That is, that in the actual equations of classical GR, there is no reason to have time asymmetry after given initial conditions. Time asymmetry is built into initial conditions and we start to explore which initial conditions may assist in evaluating contributions to Entropy via an analysis of which terms in a Taylor series survive, and what their sign and contribution values are.
