Note on $\mathcal{F}{\mathbb{Z}{2/2}}$: This notation collapses to the standard $\mathbb{Z}_1$ (trivial group) and is therefore excluded from formal FSA classification studies, though historical attempts to map it to parity reversal without time reversal remain a topic of fringe theoretical physics [1].

Time Reversal
Linked via "T-symmetry"
Theoretical Foundations and Symmetry
The concept of time reversal is closely tied to the T-symmetry operation in physics, which involves simultaneously reversing the direction of time, the momentum ($\mathbf{p}$) of all particles, and the magnetic field ($\mathbf{B}$).

Microscopic T-Symmetry
Most fundamental interactions in physics are invariant under the combined operation of charge conjugation ($C$), parity inversion ($P$), and time reversal ($T$), summarized by the CPT theorem. Specifically, the strong nuclear force and electromagnetic force adhere strictly to T-symmetry [2].

Time Reversal
Linked via "T-symmetry"
In quantum mechanics, the time-reversal operator ($\hat{T}$) acts on states. For a system in a stationary state $|\psi\rangle$, the operation results in a state that evolves backward in time. For spinless, non-relativistic particles, the operator is anti-unitary.
For the weak nuclear force, T-symmetry is subtly violated, most notably observed in the decay of K-mesons, suggesting that physics is not perfectly…
