Axiom System and Completeness Expression for Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 The standard axiomatization of quantum mechanics (QM) is not fully explicit about the role of the time-parameter. Especially, the time reference within the probability algorithm (the Born Rule, BR) is unclear.

, 2019 We give a review and critique of jury theorems from a social-epistemology perspective, covering Condorcet’s (1785) classic theorem and several later refinements and departures.

Axiomatic Testing of Structure Metrics [PDF]
, 1994 Axiomatic testing of software metrics is described, based on axioms from representational measurement theory. In a case study, the axioms are given for the formal relational structure and the empirical relational structure.

Ambiguity Aversion behind the Veil of Ignorance [PDF]
, 2021 The veil of ignorance argument was used by John C. Harsanyi to defend Utilitarianism and by John Rawls to defend the absolute priority of the worst off.

Relative Entropy and Inductive Inference
, 2003 We discuss how the method of maximum entropy, MaxEnt, can be extended beyond its original scope, as a rule to assign a probability distribution, to a full-fledged method for inductive inference.

Logical independence and quantum randomness [PDF]
, 2010 We propose a link between logical independence and quantum physics. We demonstrate that quantum systems in the eigenstates of Pauli group operators are capable of encoding mathematical axioms and show that Pauli group quantum measurements are capable of ...

Quantum theory as a statistical theory under symmetry
, 2004 Both statistics and quantum theory deal with prediction using probability. We will show that there can be established a connection between these two areas.

Is "the theory of everything'' merely the ultimate ensemble theory? [PDF]
, 1998 We discuss some physical consequences of what might be called ``the ultimate ensemble theory'', where not only worlds corresponding to say different sets of initial data or different physical constants are considered equally real, but also worlds ruled ...

A Topos Foundation for Theories of Physics: I. Formal Languages for Physics [PDF]
, 2007 This paper is the first in a series whose goal is to develop a fundamentally new way of constructing theories of physics. The motivation comes from a desire to address certain deep issues that arise when contemplating quantum theories of space and time ...

, 2007 What is information? Is it physical? We argue that in a Bayesian theory the notion of information must be defined in terms of its effects on the beliefs of rational agents. Information is whatever constrains rational beliefs and therefore it is the force
