Probability functions in the context of signed involutive meadows

Logic 2016-12-23 v4

Abstract

The Kolmogorov axioms for probability functions are placed in the context of signed meadows. A completeness theorem is stated and proven for the resulting equational theory of probability calculus. Elementary definitions of probability theory are restated in this framework.
