From this point of view, this ‘plausibility theory’ is a province of logic, and the following infor- mal proportion subsists: plausibility theory deductive logic = : common notion of ‘plausibility’ common notion of ‘truth’ Some studies in plausibility theory are here offered. An alternative view and math- ematical formalism for the problem of induction (the prediction of uncertain events from similar, certain ones) is presented. It is also shown how from plausibility theory one can derive a mathematical framework, based on convex geometry, for the descrip- tion of the predictive properties of physical theories.
