When it was shown that  de finetti's conjectures was false, by way of Krafts M=5 example; by which I mean  that all finite qualitative orderings which meet his conditions are representatbe even if if the number of states are greater then 4. BY this do they mean the number of events in the 'boolean algebra of events, F; the number of events in the qualitative ordering/ (the measurable events') or just the atomic states of the world omega. ?

For example if I have three disjoint events in omega (the atomic sample state, {A, B, C} ) which could represented as the three possible truth valuations, where Fl contain 8 measurable/comparable propositions (the power set of omega) will something like scotts theorem of the other sufficient conditions for strong finite representation be necessary? I presume this is not the case if there are only two states in omega and thus that very limited conditions need to hold in addition to get a 'albeit' trivial strong representation

Ie if the only events in F are {{A},{B}, {empty set}, {A v B} where A and B are disjoint

is it sufficient for the existence of a strong representation to just show

asymmetry: If A >- B then not (B >- A) (and trivial total ordering between the four events in F); nontriviality: S >- 0; nonnegativity: A > 0; monotonicity:and the trivial cases of transitivity and addivitity?
