Dynamics, the study of change, is normally the subject of mechanics. Whether the chosen mechanics is ``fundamental'' and deterministic or ``phenomenological'' and stochastic, all changes are described relative to an external time. Here we show that once we define what we are talking about, namely, the system, its states and a criterion to distinguish among them, there is a single, unique, and natural dynamical law for irreversible processes that is compatible with the principle of maximum entropy. In this alternative dynamics changes are described relative to an internal, ``intrinsic'' time which is a derived, statistical concept defined and measured by change itself. Time is quantified change.
