probabilogical model

a theory of attitude and belief structure postulating that beliefs can be viewed as interlinked networks of syllogisms. These networks have vertical structure in that a syllogism containing two beliefs (i.e., the premises) can logically imply a third belief (i.e., the conclusion). They have horizontal structure in that the conclusion for one syllogism can serve as the conclusion for other syllogisms. [originally proposed by William J. McGuire]
