Extending Kolmogorov’s Axioms for a Generalized Probability Theory on Collections of Contexts

Extending Kolmogorov’s Axioms for a Generalized Probability Theory on Collections of Contexts

Kolmogorov’s axioms of probability theory are extended to conditional probabilities among distinct (and sometimes intertwining) contexts. Formally, this amounts to row stochastic matrices whose entries characterize the conditional probability to find some observable (postselection) in one context, g...
