From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
probability factor -> "the unlikeliness [1] of your personal universe"
- [1] in the sense of not being likable [2] [3]
- [2] for an outside observer
- [3] as, for example, people around you have to work but you can spend money all the time without working for it
Any present unlikeliness in your personal universe (acquired or inherited) may be explained by rationalizations like "you are member of an elite", which is invalid most of the time, as there is very little actual use for elitism; this includes the concept of an elite that understands the YHVH language.
When you willingly consume randomness (see troll) that can be seen as a decision that you do not have a preference in the outcome and therefore you actually invite anybody who can do so to make use of that randomness as signal. I assume a probability factor of 1 means that you act like an adult and there is simply no need to tell you much. This, however, already requires judgement by a, possibly biased, judge. [1]
- [1] What ethics do you apply yourself in the absence of any (higher) jurisdiction or auditor? That may be the relevant precedent here.

"But where are we on the probability axis thing?" said Arthur. "Will the Earth be there or not there? I spent so much time looking for it. All I found was planets that were a bit like it or not at all like it, though it was clearly the right place because of the continents. The worst version was called NowWhat where I got bitten by some wretched little animal. That's how they communicated, you know, by biting each other. Bloody painful. Then half the time, of course, the Earth isn't even there because it's been blown up by the bloody Vogons. How much sense am I making?'
