Posted on December 8, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List Discussion • Stefan Berwing Let us put fuzzy sets to one side for the moment and take up the matter of belief you raised, as I believe that connection is very apt. As it happens, there was … Continue reading →

Triadic Relations, Intentions, Fuzzy Subsets : 3

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

There is at present an extensive literature on fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic.  I got another brush with the world of fuzzy in the 1990s when I returned to grad school in a systems engineering program, partly because my adviser … Continue reading →

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

We imagine all the things we might want to talk about in a given discussion as collected together in a set X called a universe of discourse.  (In probabilistic or statistical work it might be called a sample space.) By … Continue reading →

Triadic Relations, Intentions, Fuzzy Subsets • Discussion 1

Posted on December 6, 2012 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Peirce List Discussion • Stefan Berwing Frequencies, histograms, and probabilities are one way to think about degrees of membership in a fuzzy subset, but there are cautions to be observed in doing that. Consider the following triadic relations: x … Continue reading →
