Zusammenfassung:In this work, a definition of agreement between a physical theory and experiment, proposed in earlier work, is extended to be relative to τ where τ is Zermelo‐Fraenkel set theory. The main aim of this work is to show that this definition, unlike that of earlier work, is sufficiently powerful to include relations between limit properties of empirical outcome sequences and expectation values obtained from the physical theory. We also extend, to the more powerful τ, some earlier results on randomness and the empirical determinability of the probability measure which a physical theory assigns to the outcome set of an infinite sequence of experiments.
