johnswentworth comments on The Telephone Theorem: Information At A Distance Is Mediated By Deterministic Constraints

Your interpretation of my notation is correct. The notation is not uncommon, but it does diverge from the notation used for conditional probability in other contexts. (More generally, notation for probability is an absolute mess in practice, with context determining a lot.)

Thanks. Is there a particular source whose notation yours most aligns with?
