But the Sorites argument does not preserve the credibility in this reading. >Conditional/Adams. Probability function P/Field: from several different P, the same Q can be constructed, so P is not really important to describe the agent. >Probability function, >Conditional probability. Then one could say: 1. That Q is a fully legitimated belief function. 2. That P is not a legitimate belief function. This would be hard to justify if the process from P to Q could be repeated so that it provides a Q* that is different from Q, but that is not the case. If we define Q*(A) as Q(DA), then Q* is simply equal to Q. This is our reason for using S4. >Systems S4/S5.}, note = { Field I H.
