induction Vaden Masrani September 12, 2019 In what follows I restate and simplify the proof
of the impossibility of probabilistic induction given in [1,2]. Other proofs are possible (cf. [1]). 1
Logical Entailment Given two statements x, y we write x ⊢ y if x entails y. For example, if x =
“All men are mortal” y = “Socrates is a man” z = “Socrates is mortal” we can write (x∧y) ⊢ z …

In this short note I restate and simplify the proof of the impossibility of probabilistic induction from Popper (1992). Other proofs are possible (cf. Popper (1985)).
