Abstract: A radical solution is offered to clarify an obscure relationship between the Maximum Entropy Principle (MaxEnt) and Bayesian Probability Theory (BPT). The logical consistency of MaxEnt and BPT is guaranteed by definition in our theory. Close links between the MaxEnt and Fourier Transform are emphasized. Reproducibility is being recognized as the fundamental precondition of the MaxEnt-formalism. Consequently, it is proposed that the MaxEnt principle manifests itself in terms of Spiral Geometries, Zipf's law, Power laws, Fractals, and many other ubiquitous reproducible phenomena.
