Probability, rational belief and belief change
A simple model of rational belief holds that: (i) an instantaneous snapshot of an ideally rational belief system corresponds to a probability distribution; and (ii) rational belief change occurs by Bayesian conditionalization. But a priori probability distributions of the Kolmogorov sort cannot distinguish between propositions that are simply true from propositions that are necessarily true. Fu...
متن کاملUsing Interaction to Compute Better Probability Estimates in Plan Graphs
Plan graphs are commonly used in planning to help compute heuristic “distance” estimates between states and goals. A few authors have also attempted to use plan graphs in probabilistic planning to compute estimates of the probability that propositions can be achieved and actions can be performed. This is done by propagating probability information forward through the plan graph from the initial...
متن کاملHarming body as a red line for Islamic fasting
Background: Fasting is the Islamic worship of man in order to approach God. There is a direct relationship between fasting, abstaining from eating and drinking, and man’s health as well as ill-health. Therefore, through fasting the religious and medical issues are interwoven with each other; so that man can maintain his physical heath by performing a religious worship. Findings: Medical propos...
متن کاملThe Role of the Scholars` Tradition in Formulating Moral Propositions, with an Emphasis on Muhaqqiq Isfahani`s View
The issue of the source of ethical value is one of the most important issues in the field of metaethics. Moral philosophers have come up with different perspectives on this issue. Some Islamic thinkers, including Muhaqqiqi Isfahani, have considered the rationals` tradition as the formulating cause for moral propositions. This research is intended to emphasize on the viewpoint of Muhaqqiqi Isfah...
متن کاملHawthorne’s Lottery Puzzle and the Nature of Belief
Suppose that that T is one of ten million tickets that have been sold in a fair lottery. Clearly the probability that T will lose is extremely high. Suppose that I know these facts. Suppose, too, that T will in fact lose. Given these assumptions, it is tempting to conclude that I can know P, the proposition that T will lose. Certainly the present authors are tempted to conclude this. In his bri...
متن کاملMarketBayes: A Distributed, Market-Based Bayesian Network
This paper presents initial work on a system called MarketBayes, a computational market economy where distributed agents trade in uncertain propositions. For any Bayesian network, we have defined a corresponding economy of goods, consumers and producers that essentially “computes” the same information. Although our research thus far has only verified the existence of a market structure capable ...
