The extension conjecture for the Winder existential ordering
The extension conjecture for the Winder existential ordering
Let and let be a strongly acyclic simplicial complex. Define the Winder desirability relation on by if and only if, for every ,
Define the Winder existential ordering by if and only if it is not the case that . An extension of is a total ordering on containing every relation in ; a qualitative probability order is a total order satisfying de Finetti's axiom. Winder extension conjecture. If is strongly acyclic then there exists an extension of to a qualitative probability order. This is presented as a slightly stronger version of the preceding characterization conjecture. The preceding lemmas provide support by showing that respects membership in and satisfies the required cancellation property, but the existence of the extension remains open in the supplied text.
