NassimTaleb: math behind Black Swan (English)

http://www.fooledbyrandomness.com/zerothmoment.pdf

Short content:



Raphael Douady and I re-expressed the philosophical problem mathematically, and it appears vastly more devastating in its implication than the Gödel problem. At the time of writing, we produced a formal proof using mathematics, and a branch of mathematics called “measure theory” that was used by the French to put rigor behind mathematics of probability. The paper is temporarily called Undecidability theorem of probabilistic measures: On the inconsistency of estimating probabilites from a sample without binding a priori assumptions on the class of acceptable probabilities.
