• Abstract: Our aim is to make a step towards clarification of foundations for the notion of entanglement (both physical and mathematical) by representing it in the conditional probability framework. In Schr\"odinger's words, this is entanglement of knowledge which can be extracted via conditional measurements. In particular, quantum probabilities are interpreted as conditional ones (as, e.g., by Ballentine). We restrict considerations to perfect conditional correlations (PCC) induced by measurements ("EPR entanglement"). Such entanglement is coupled to the pairs of observables with the projection type state update as the back action of measurement. In this way, we determine a special class of entangled states. One of our aims is to decouple the notion of entanglement from the compound systems. The rigid association of entanglement with the state of a few body systems stimulated its linking with quantum nonlocality ("spooky action at a distance"). However, already by Schr\"odinger entanglement was presented as knotting of knowledge (about statistics) for one observable A with knowledge about another observable B.

  We look at how to describe the uncertainty about a quantum system's state conditional on executing such measurements. We show that by exploiting the interplay between desirability, coherence and indifference, a general rule for conditioning can be derived.

• Characterizing quantum state-space with a single quantum measurement [0.0]
  We show that quantum theory can be derived from studying the behavior of a single "reference" measuring device. In this privileged case, each quantum state correspond to a probability distribution over the outcomes of a single measurement. We show how 3-designs allow the structure-coefficients of the Jordan algebra of observables to be extracted from the probabilities which characterize the reference measurement.

• Kolmogorovian Censorship, Predictive Incompleteness, and the locality loophole in Bell experiments [0.0]
  Kolmogorovian Censorship stipulates that quantum probabilities can be identified with classical, Kolmogorovian probabilities. In a loophole-free Bell test, the remote random choices of measurements have the purpose to prevent this matching. We argue that predictive incompleteness is the correct quantum way to understand the violation of Bell's inequalities.

  It is meaningless to speak about entanglement without pointing to the fixed observables A and B, so this is AB-entanglement. Dependence of quantum observables is formalized as non-coincidence of conditional probabilities.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
