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.
