Abstract

We define weak implication $H \longmapsto_{\varphi} E$ ("H weakly implies E under $\mathit{\varphi}$") through the relation $\mathit{\varphi}(E|H)$ = 1, where $\mathit{\varphi}$ is a (coherent) conditional uncertainty measure. By considering various such measures with different levels of generality, we get different sets of "inferential rules", that correspond to those of default logic when $\mathit{\varphi}$ reduces to a conditional probability.
