	Coherence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coherence is from Latin cohaerere = stick together, to be connected with, logically consistent.
		Coherence is an attribute of physical quantities that can be described in terms of waves when a well-defined wavefront can be defined, as in classical optics.
		In Bayesian decision theory, an inference system of probabilities and utilities is coherent if it is immune to the possibility of a "Dutch book paradox"; see coherence (philosophical gambling strategy).

	Subject (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word subjectivity is also used to refer to the antithesis of objectivity as an epistemic virtue: one who judges according to personal feelings or intuitions, rather than according to objective observation, reasoning, and judgment, is judging subjectively.
		According to his theory, a probability assertion is akin to a bet, and a bet is coherant only if it does not expose the wagerer to loss if their opponent chooses wisely.
		In his scenario, when someone states their degree-of-belief in something, one places a small bet for or against that belief and specifies the odds, with the understanding that the other party to the bet may then decide which side of the bet to take.

	Coherent sheaf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, a coherent sheaf F on a locally ringed space X is a sheaf isomorphic with the cokernel of a morphism of O
		The role played by coherent sheaves is as a class of sheaves, say on an algebraic variety or complex manifold, that is more general than the locally free sheaf — such as invertible sheaf, or sheaf of sections of a (holomorphic) vector bundle — but still with manageable properties.
		In the basic work of Serre, it was shown first that compact complex manifolds have the property that their sheaf cohomology for any coherent sheaf consists of vector spaces of finite dimension.

		Other forms of Dutch books can exist when incoherent odds are offered on exotic bets such as forecasting the order in which horses will finish.
		With competitive fixed-odds gambling being offered electronically, gamblers can sometimes create a Dutch book by selecting the best odds from different bookmakers, in effect by undertaking an arbitrage operation.
		In Bayesian probability, Frank Ramsey and Bruno de Finetti required personal degrees of belief to be coherent so that a Dutch book could not be made against them, whichever way bets were made; in other words their degrees of belief had to satisfy the axioms of probability.

		The classic exposition of his distinctive theory is the 1937 "La prévision: ses lois logiques, ses sources subjectives," Annales de l'Institute Henri Poincaré, 7, 1-68, which discussed probability founded on the coherence of betting odds and the consequences of exchangeability.
		De Finetti proposed a thought experiment along the following lines: You must set the price of a promise to pay $1 if there was life on Mars 1 billion years ago, and $0 if there was not, and tomorrow the answer will be revealed.
