A complete calculus of inductive inference captures the totality of facts about inductive support within some domain of propositions as relations or theorems within the calculus. It is demonstrated that there can be no complete, non-trivial calculus of inductive inference. 1. Introduction2. The Deductive Structure 2.1. Finite Boolean algebras of propositions2.2.
