There are an infinite number of universal distributions. Some of them
assign greater probability to even integers, some of them assign greater
probability to od

Are probabilities always and necessarily positive-definite?
I'm asking this because there is a thread, started by Dirac
and Feynman, saying the only difference between the classical
and quantum cases is that in the former we assume the probabilities
are positive-definite.
Thus, speaking of MWI,
I browsed through recent postings and hope
this delayed but self-contained message can clarify
a few things about probabilities and measures
and predictability etc.
What is the probability of an integer being, say,
a square? This question does not make sense without
a prior probability distribution
