Um... I'm not sure there's much I can say to that beyond "Read Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems, or Causality".
Pearl's system is not ad-hoc. It is very not ad-hoc. It has a metric fuckload of math backing up the simple rules. But Pearl's system does not include logical uncertainty. I'm trying to put logical uncertainty into it, while obeying the rules. This is a work in progress.
Thomblake's observation may be that while Pearl's system is extremely rigorous the diagrams used do not give an authoritative standard style for diagram drawing.
That's correct - I was looking for a standard style for diagram drawing.
I'd just like to register a general approval of specifying that one's imaginary units are metric.
