Keywords : Unification, explanation, confirmation, Bayesianism, common cause. There is another sense of unification, having to do with hypotheses that posit a common origin for the phenomena in question, be it hypothesis can posit a common origin for two (or more) evidential Consider a Bayesian agent whose credences are represented by a probability function Cr. We define the mutual information of a pair of then, conditional on the hypothesis Hcc, the Ais are positively correlated with the Bis.
