Wolfgang,
In type terms it appears you want a new domain that is predicated on
3 things (S, F, and P). First you need to decide the name of the new
domain e.g.
ProbabilitySpace(S: DomOrCat, F: DomOrCat, P: DomOrCat)
second you need to decide
if S is required to be a specific domain (say, your SpecialSampleSpace) or
can be a general category which either you
create SampleSpaceCategory from which SpecialSampleSpace is derived or
is an existing category (say, Ring)
similarly for F and P.
third, you need to define what a sample space is, what a sigma-field is,
and what category of maps you will allow.
Fourth, if you are making a Domain you need to decide on what representation
to have for elements of the domain. If you just want a collection of functions
(which Axiom calls a Package) then you don't need to worry about this. If you
plan to create many kinds of ProbabilitySpaces then you probably want a
category first.
Is S going to be a set? Does it have to be ordered?
Is F a set of elements out of S and thus has to be the same domain?
Is P required to implement maps P(S)->F that need to be conditioned on S and F?
This is very general as I'm not sure of your details but feel free to ask
more questions or send code and I'll try to help.
