Is this the same as Jaynes' method for construction of a prior using transformation invariance on acquisition of new evidence?
Does conservation of expected evidence always uniquely determine a probability distribution? If so, it should eliminate a bunch of extraneous methods of construction of priors. For example, you would immediately know if an application of MaxEnt was justified.
