The emergence of reasons conjecture
In this paper we show how the maxent paradigm may be
used to produce an inductive method (in the sense of Carnap)
applicable to a wide class of problems in inductive logic. We then
state a conjecture about the answers given by this method and
prove the conjecture in a particular case which extends all
previous partial confirmations
A proof of the base cases of the Emergence of Reason's Conjecture for CM
In this paper we extend the support for a general `Emergence of Reasons' principle in predicate uncertain reasoning by proving the base case of the `Emergence of Reasons Conjecture', for all s, in the case of the inference process CM
