(Let’s not call it “probability” because that has too much baggage.)
This aside raises concerns for me, like it makes me worry that maybe we’re more deeply not on the same page. It seems to me like the weighing is just straight-forward probability, and that it’s important to call it that.

I think I was overzealous with this aside and regret it.
I worry that the word “probability” has connotations that are too strong or are misleading for some use cases of abstract entropy.
But this is definitely probability in the mathematical sense, yes.
Maybe I wish mathematical “probability” had a name with weaker connotations.
