The essence of epa is to assign a probability distribution over the behaviors of each of a complex system's individual enions. the probabilities characterizing the behavior of individual enions, and second, a set of fluctuations perturbing the outcome of the deterministic process. At this stage epa makes a significant assumption, that the enion probabilities, although they concern microlevel events, have values that depend Enion probability analysis makes two crucial, wide-ranging probabilistic assumptions in order to achieve its derivation of macrolevel laws from microlevel behavior. depend on these sorts of microlevel details; they will not, in practice, significantly affect your ability to derive macrolevel behavior from the enion probabilities (Strevens 2003, §4.6). enion probability, I now suppose, concern the distribution of initial conditions for some large—perhaps infinitely large—group of coin tosses. that enion probabilities in complex systems have microconstant evolution	./cache/work_ga7qm6sag5b6xltgjrzkf2gwai.pdf	./txt/work_ga7qm6sag5b6xltgjrzkf2gwai.txt
