5.152

Propositions which have no truth-arguments in common with one another we call independent.

Two elementary propositions give to one another the probability 1/2.

If p follows from q, the proposition q gives to the proposition p the probability 1. The certainty of logical conclusion is a limiting case of probability.

(Application to tautology and contradiction.)
