I posted this article to the decision theory group a moment ago. It seems highly relevant to thinking concretely about logical uncertainty in the context of decision theory, and provides what looks to be a reasonable metric for evaluating the value of computationally useful information.
ETA: plus there is an interesting tie-in to cognitive heuristics/biases.

Link nitpick: When linking to arXiv, please link to the abstract, not directly to the PDF.
Fixed
I wonder if the downvote I see here would have been an upvote if you used ‘request’ instead of ‘nitpick’ (not that I mind either way).
