It seems to me that statistics (Bayesian or otherwise) is not relevant to the
kinds of models PCTers have been working on, for the simple reason that the
models are expressed in terms of systems made of differential equations, not
propositional logic.
PCT has everything
to do with propositional logic. PCT wouldn’t exist otherwise. In fact
differential equations are in some way a means to quantify and a reflection of propositional
logic. Propositional logic has been shown by Elliot Jaques to be the very basis of
human thought.
