I think what Gleason proved is that the only consistent probability
measure on a Hilbert space is given by the normalized inner
product. But it's not clear that there is a probability measure on
the MW.

Interesting. It looks like, at first sight, that Gleason + the FPI (+
some abandon of the naïve view on "worlds") might solve the Born Rule.
I might dig on this when I have more time. I have to revise Quantum
logic and algebra to do this, but musing on Gleason theorem augments
my feeling that the Z1* logics might be closer to QM than I hope!
Note that your link contains a link to the original proof of Gleason.
