Intuition suggests that we retain Lebesgue measure-like properties of
probability even for the unbounded events/sets usually.

To do this, we consider:

1) P(A ' --> A) < = P(A ' )

which holds iff:

2) P(A) < = 1/2

which holds iff:

3) P(A ' ) > = 1/2.

Thus, combining this with the result of the last few posts, we have:

4) P(A --> A ' ) > = P(A) (Repulsion)
5) P(A ' --> A) < = P(A ' ) (Attraction including Gravitation)

According to (4) and (5) applied to the Universe, Repulsion or
Expansion of the Universe is more (Probably) Causally Effective than
Contraction or Attraction including Gravitation, which would explain
the expansion of the Universe.

The exception is that when Repulsion = Attraction, which is to say
P(A) = 1/2 = P(A ' ), then they are both equally Causally effective.
If there is a tendency for this, then the Universe would be (Neo-)
Cyclic.
