Probability as Contextual Projection A Unified View of Classical and Quantum Probability
Authors/Creators
Description
We propose a simple reinterpretation of probability as a contextual notion arising from
projections of a total system onto chosen decompositions. In this view, probability is not an
intrinsic property of events but is defined only relative to a context (a partition of the whole).
This perspective provides a unified conceptual framework in which classical probability
appears as the case of compatible contexts, while quantum probability arises when contexts
are incompatible and probabilities are derived from amplitude superposition. The aim is not
to replace existing theories but to clarify their common structural basis.
