All recursive probability spaces converge to the same probabilities, as the information increases.
Not that those people making up probabilities knows anything about that.
If you want an universal probability space, just take some universal computer, run all programs on it, and keep those that output event A. Then you can see how many of those that output event B, and thus you can get p(B|A) whatever A and B are.
This is algorithmic information theory, and should be known by any black belt bayesian.

As far as I can tell, you are talking absolute gibberish.
If I'm wrong, please explain.
edit: if someone who downvoted me could please explain what the heck a "recursive probability space" is supposed to be, I'd appreciate it.
