I realize I’m a couple weeks behind and nobody might read this, but this is false (e.g., if I flip two fair + independent coins and A = “first coin is heads” and B = “second coin is heads”, P(B) = 1⁄2, but P(B|A) x P(A) = (1/2)x(1/2) = 1⁄4). I think what you mean is P(A and B) = P(B|A) x P(A).
(unless I’m missing some context and we are assuming B is a subset of A, but if so I’m not sure why we are assuming that)
I love this. FYI the minimal change that makes the image of the Empirio spell valid is to write P(B) = P(B|A) x P(A).

Any chance you’d like to do some cover/chapter art for Murphy’s Quest?
Sure! I just read it today, and I quite liked it! I’m a little unsure about timelines, but PM on Messenger and we can figure something out?
These are great and I like the naming.
Genre savviness.
Deliberate practice.
Scope sensitivity/napkinmath/shut up and multiply.
Checklists!
Something around an argument that proves too much, but this could be massaged into a more atomic concept maybe. (falsifiability? rent collection?)
A dispell for isolated demands for rigor.
and of course: Summon Sapience!
A spell for changing your own mind to reflect the world. Maybe “locus alba” or “ire foras”?
Now I’m curious about Dark Side Epistemology spells...
Movus Goalpostia!
