Abstract
Bernouilli's principle of insufficient reason is formulated in a noncommutative C*‐algebraic generalization of probability theory. This idea is developed here for general quantum systems, and a simple illustration of it is given. Subsequent papers in this series will deal with more sophisticated models.Keywords
