Comment on Approaching Logical Probability

I am proposing no changes. My claim is that even though we use english words like "event-space" or "actions" when describing Savage's theorem, the things that actually have the relevant properties in the AMD problem are the strategies.

Cribbing from the paper I linked, the key property of "actions" is that they are functions from the set of "states of the world" (also somewhat mutable) to the set of consequences (the things I have a utility function over). If the state is "I'm at the first intersection" and I take the action (no quotes, actual action) of "go straight," that does return a consequence.
