Abstract

We develop the ideology of unbounded probability theory in which the notion of elementary event is not used and present a new (more general) definition of independent events. The proposed construction is based on natural sequences 1, 2, ..., N and distributions of the type “partitio numerorum.” Essential use is made of the mathematical phenomenon of “Bose-Einstein condensate” type, a familiar notion in quantum statistical physics. The derived construction can be applied to thermodynamics and multistep relaxation processes.
