....for this experiment. Alternatively, if I must construct an imaginary conceptual ensemble to understand the probability statement, then why bother Why not call it a degree of belief to begin with The Bayesian point of view should also be contrasted with the propensity theory of probability [16]. This is the idea that a probability expresses an objective tendency on the part of the experimental situation to produce one outcome over the other. If this were the case, then one could hardly apply the probability calculus to situations where the experimental outcome already exists at the time ....

....variables to generate the two output modes. When discussing the noise characteristics of an optical field, it is helpful to have some way to compare the system state with that of a reference state (some20 times referred to as a quantum ruler) 23] and to employ Popper s concept of propensity [24]. The propensity P r describes the dispositional properties to take up certain states , or the tendency of the measured object described by the systems density operator ae s to take up certain states prescribed by a measuring device (or filter) described by a projection operator P Phi f = j Phi ....

However, just after saying this, Popper gives what he calls an objective probabilistic explanation of irreversible processes ( 92] p.107) attributed to Planck, which, as far as I can tell, is not very different from what I call the classical solution.

However, just after saying this, Popper gives what he calls an objective probabilistic explanation of irreversible processes ([92], p.107) attributed to Planck, which, as far as I can tell, is not very different from what I call the classical solution. The source of the confusion comes from two uses of the word knowledge . Obviously, the world does what it does, whether we know about it or not. So, indeed, 49 See e.g. ....
