Abstract
The starting point of the present work is the assumption that the fundamental description of our world is probabilistic [25,52–54]. The basic objects for this description are probability distributions and observables. Deterministic physics arises as an approximation for particular cases. Our description of probabilities remains within the standard setting of classical statistics. No separate laws for quantum mechanics will be introduced. They follow from the classical statistical setting for particular classes of subsystems.
