Your definition of entropy and the arrow of time seems circular. Water falls because there are more possible states it can be after than before, yet this is just the definition of the arrow of time itself, so you haven't really explained the arrow of time, simply shown something that occurs if you assume a specific arrow of time. (Which may be violated, e.g. fluctuation theorem and time-reversal interpretation of QM.)
