What is it about?

The five fundamental axioms of classical probability theory were put forward in 1933 by Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov. Encompassing new imaginary dimensions with the experiment real dimensions will make the work in the complex probability set totally predictable and with a probability permanently equal to one. This is the original idea in my complex probability paradigm. Therefore, this will make the event in C = R + M absolutely deterministic by adding to the real set of probabilities R the contributions of the imaginary set of probabilities M. It is of great importance that stochastic systems become totally predictable since we will be perfectly knowledgeable to foretell the outcome of all random events that occur in nature. Consequently, by calculating the parameters of the new prognostic model, we will be able to determine the magnitude of the chaotic factor, the degree of our knowledge, the real and imaginary and complex probabilities in the probability sets R and M and C and which are all subject to chaos and random effects. Hence, we will apply this novel paradigm to the law of large numbers in order to demonstrate it in an innovative way and to prove as well in an original way an important property at the foundation of statistical physics.

Why is it important?

Computing probabilities is all our work in the classical theory of probability. Adding new dimensions to our stochastic experiment is the innovative idea in the current paradigm which will make the study absolutely deterministic. As a matter of fact, the theory of probability is a nondeterministic theory by essence that means that all the random events outcome is due to luck and chance. Hence, we make the study deterministic by adding new imaginary dimensions to the phenomenon occurring in the “real” laboratory which is R, and therefore, a stochastic experiment will have a certain outcome in the complex probabilities set C. It is of great significance that random systems become completely predictable since we will be perfectly knowledgeable to predict the outcome of all stochastic and chaotic phenomena that occur in nature like for example in all stochastic processes, in statistical mechanics, or in the well-established field of quantum mechanics. Consequently, the work that should be done is to add the contributions of M which is the set of imaginary probabilities to the set of real probabilities R that will make the random phenomenon in C = R + M completely deterministic. Since this paradigm is found to be fruitful, then a new theory in prognostic and stochastic sciences is established and this is to understand deterministically those events that used to be stochastic events in R. This is what I coined by the term “The Complex Probability Paradigm” that was elaborated and initiated in my 25 previous papers.

Perspectives

Although I have taught courses on probability and statistics at the university level for many years, I consider myself a beginner in this branch of knowledge; in fact an absolute beginner, always thirsty to learn and discover more. I think that the mathematician who proves to be successful in tackling and mastering the theory of probability and statistics has made it halfway to understanding the mystery of existence revealed in a universe governed sometimes in our modern theories by randomness and uncertainties. The probabilistic aspect is evident in the theories of the quantum world, of thermodynamics, or of statistical mechanics, for example. Hence, the universe’s secret code, I think, is written in a mathematical language, just as Galileo Galilei expressed it in these words: “Philosophy is written in this very great book which is the universe that always lies open before our eyes. One cannot understand this book unless one first learns to understand the language and recognize the characters in which it is written. It is written in a mathematical language and the characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures. Without these means it is humanly impossible to understand a word of it. Without these there is only clueless scrabbling around in a dark labyrinth.”
