The nature of the probability space is that it is based on complex numbers q from the unit circle group |q| = 1 rather real numbers p in [0,1]. Rather than an event weighted by a real number, an event is a set of counterevents - each c.e. weighted by a complex number (which are then summed and the norm is taken) to get the real number weight of the event. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
