Abstract

We offer an alternative approach to the existing methods for intuitionistic formalization of reasoning about probability. In terms of Kripke models, each possible world is equipped with a structure of the form $$\langle H, \mu \rangle $$ that needs not be a probability space. More precisely, though H needs not be a Boolean algebra, the corresponding monotone function (we call it measure) $$\mu : H \longrightarrow [0,1]_{\mathbb {Q}}$$ satisfies the following condition: if $$\alpha $$, $$\beta $$, $$\alpha \wedge \beta $$, $$\alpha \vee \beta \in H$$, then $$\mu (\alpha \vee \beta ) = \mu (\alpha ) + \mu (\beta ) - \mu (\alpha \wedge \beta )$$. Since the range of $$\mu $$ is the set $$[0,1]_{\mathbb {Q}}$$ of rational numbers from the real unit interval, our logic is not compact. In order to obtain a strong complete axiomatization, we introduce an infinitary inference rule with a countable set of premises. The main technical results are the proofs of strong completeness and decidability.
