Abstract

This paper presents a general procedure for generating a probabilistic representation of quantum theory from an informationally complete quantum measurement. This association advances a conception of the Born Rule as a consistency condition between the probabilities assigned to the outcomes of multiple distinct experiments, allowing for a direct comparison between classical and quantum probability theories.
