- Cointension:
-
A qualitative measure of proximity of meanings/input‐output relations.
- Extension principle:
-
A principle which relates to propagation of generalized constraints.
- f‑validity:
-
fuzzy validity.
- Fuzzy if‑then rule:
-
A rule of the form: if X is A then Y is B. In general, A and B are fuzzy sets.
- Fuzzy logic (FL):
-
A precise logic of imprecision, uncertainty and approximate reasoning.
- Fuzzy logic gambit:
-
Exploitation of tolerance for imprecision through deliberatem‑imprecisiation followed by mm‐precisiation.
- Fuzzy set:
-
A class with a fuzzy boundary.
- Generalized constraint:
-
A constraint of the form X isr R, where X is the constrained variable, R is the constraining relation and r is an indexical variable which defines the modality of the constraint, that is, its semantics. In general, generalized constraints have elasticity.
- Generalized constraint language:
-
A language generated by combination and propagation of generalized constraints.
- Graduation:
-
Association of a scale of degrees with a fuzzy set.
- Granuland:
-
Result of granulation.
- Granular variable:
-
A variable which takes granules as variables.
- Granulation:
-
Partitioning of an object/set into granules.
- Granule:
-
A clump of attribute values drawn together by indistinguishability, equivalence, similarity, proximity or functionality.
- Linguistic variable:
-
A granular variable with linguistic labels of granular values.
- m‑precision:
-
Precision of meaning.
- mh‐precisiand:
-
m‑precisiand which is described in a natural language (human‐oriented).
