While I didn't read that article in detail, I did not find any clear discussion of how it differs from probability.
The one difference I saw was that total possibility is not normalised, in principle for a continuous variable the total can be infinity. But I'm not sure what effect this has in practice besides making it tricky to work with some contrived examples.
- anentropic 6y agoI really have no idea... but what I think I understood is: Probabilities have a magnitude, i.e. 0.5 is twice as likely as 0.25 But "surprise ranks" only have an ordering: 0 (inevitable) < 1 < 2 < 3 ... < inf (impossible)
