Primes¶
- Evidence
- And Bayesian updating supplies the canonical aggregation rule, so that recognizing an evidential problem suggests the Bayesian form even where practitioners lack the vocabulary — while the prime remains broader than any one rule, since Dempster-Shafer weighing, legal balancing, and narrative coherence in history all instantiate the same role-set with different aggregation functions.
This sourceDevelops Dempster–Shafer belief functions as a non-Bayesian aggregation rule over evidence, illustrating that the evidence role-set admits different combination functions.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's ISBN resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
