It seems likely to me that the the laws of motion governing the time evolution of microstates has something to do with determining the "right" macroproperties -- that is, the ones that lead to reproducible states and processes on the macro scale. (Something to do with coarse-graining, maybe?) Then natural selection filters for organisms that take advantage of these macro regularities.
