[QUOTE="Andre de Waal, post: 1165729, member: 87905"] Thanks. I deliberated for some time before posting this as a theorem, going so far as to discuss it with an actuary. A Mathematical Theory as defined, is based on a set of axioms and definitions, and consists of theorems and proofs. Furthermore, it is a mathematical model of an abstract structure that can be used to make predictions or discoveries. A theorem as defined, is a statement that has been proven to be true by logic, using facts and rules that were already known. As regards the case in point: In theory, if you kick the ball high, there is a 50% chance that you will retrieve it ("bleeding obvious"). My Theorem's Critical Success Factor, clearly stated in the Preamble, is Possession. The Theorem QUANTIFIES Possession (Retrieval) Probability as a minimum of 50% after the action of modifying 100% Possession by kicking the ball high, and lists the factors (riders) that could further positively/negatively influence this Possession (Retrieval) Probability. Please advise is there are any further factors which I may have missed. [/QUOTE]
