To respond to the inconsistency objection, Huemer offers the Explanatory Priority Proviso (EPP) to the Principle of Indifference: when applying the PI, one ought to assign Solution 1 : Apply the PI to the possible lamp states, assigning 1/2 probability to each apply the PI a second time across this sub-partition, yielding a 1/4 probability for blue presumably Huemer must be thinking that the level of possible objective chances is explanatorily prior In that case, Huemer identified a new partition at the level of possible psychological makes certain assumptions about how to partition the level of possible probabilistic laws (assumptions I note in every other case in the paper, Huemer uses the PI to assign prior probabilities. into those level-specific hypotheses with a constant time-to-objective chance function, ./cache/work_yb6rpcvbkfax7i26glea3kzkpa.pdf ./txt/work_yb6rpcvbkfax7i26glea3kzkpa.txt
