Probability and Qualitative Belief [Grolog lecture]

This talk will introduce a new approach to acceptance that addresses the lottery paradox and also some new paradoxes pertaining to conditional logic that cannot be addressed by ad hoc adjustments of the strictness of the acceptance rule. Another very attractive feature of the rule is that it tracks Bayesian conditioning - to accept and qualitatively update yields the same result as conditioning in a Bayesian way and then accepting.
