It's interesting that starting from the principles he states in section 1.7 the rules of probability can be derived. This formulation is from http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.06597 (where it is shown that the measure-theoretical approach is just an special case): (Representation) Degrees of plausibility pl(A|B) can be identified as unique real numbers p ∈ R; and (Qualitative Correspondence With Common Sense; Logical Internal Consistency) This has three sub-Principles: – If there is more than one path to a correct conclusion, all such paths must lead to the same plausibility result; – In assessing…
