No, I meant rather that for a set of n beliefs, your total uncertainty U = 1/n Sum u(n). The "paradox" denotes the irrational mindset where U > 0, yet Sum u(n) = 0.
You're defining the uncertainty of a set of beliefs as the
average of their uncertainties? Shouldn't you take at least the
maximum?
In any case, logic does not tell you how the uncertainty
of the set is related to the uncertainty of each member.
Your definition is one possible choice of "uncertainty".
{ko'a krici le du'u broda ije ko'a krici le du'u brode}
does not logically entail {ko'a krici le du'u ge broda
gi brode}.
