Jaynes' principle

Jaynes' principle has to do with uncertainty in physics.

Jaynes' principle states that:

"Assume that experimental outcomes $e_i$ and functions $f_i \left( e_i \right) = f_i$ given n additional data from experiments. The hypothesis $h_n$ has to be adjusted such that probabilities p(ei,n) obey:"
$sum_\left\{i\right\} P left \left( i,N ight \right) = 1$
