Probability is an application of this aforementioned math, not foundational to it.
- adamnemecek 10y agoThe empirical point of view is definitely worth mentioning.
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoCould you elaborate on what you mean here? Im not sure I understand what you're trying to say.
- adamnemecek 10y agoWell fundamentally probability is a framework for reasoning about the future based on previous events. This framework is analogous to logic but it's separate and even though it's not as clean it's a lot more useful for dealing with the real world.
- danharaj 10y agoProbability and probabilistic reasoning can be described by this framework. The theory is not yet as well developed as the classical theories. A discussion is here: https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2007/02/category_theoretic_probability.html https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2007/02/category_theore...
- aminorex 10y agoThe framework itself needs description in probabilistic terms. Otherwise it has only pragmatic utility, and degraded epistemic status.
- cscurmudgeon 10y agoWhile on the surface probability seems different from logic, it fits neatly within it.
