Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this study is to examine how probability can be employed to comprehend interpretations and meanings in not only mathematical but also philosophical and linguistic contexts from a Leibnizian perspective. Methodology: The research is developed following a predominantly theoretical and analytical methodology. The study follows a hermeneutic approach that determines conceptions from the interpretative dialectic of reference texts. Results: The degree of essence reports an ontological datum to the subject, which is encapsulated under the precise and controlled status of number. In light of the multifaceted meanings and polysemy of language, it is imperative that the mathematical representation of hermeneutics be comprehensive. This is because the number, as an ontological extract, provides a glimpse into the reality that lies beyond the limits of language. Discussions: Probability not only assists in the mathematical modeling of reality, but also enables the comprehension and prediction of behaviors and outcomes in contexts where absolute certainty is unattainable. Conclusions: The conceptual analysis reflects the intertwining of probability and philosophy, particularly through the figure and work of Leibniz.
