Bayes nets, structuralism, dimensionAbstract
We reconstruct the core theory for n-dimensional Bayes nets in a clear and complete way in the structuralist framework. Our formulation also includes the n one-dimensional probability spaces and one n-dimensional probability space. We explain the intended systems and the empirical claim of the theory of n-dimensional Bayes nets. In our formulation, the concept of dimension is highlighted, and we discuss whether events or sentences (statements, propositions) could be used as the basic building blocks.
