From: Predictor on 22 Aug 2005 13:40 That is false. It is quite possible to implement fuzzy logic analytically, meaning that exact, as opposed to discretely approximated results could be achieved. I'm not sure why any of this matters, but it is certainly possible. -Will Dwinnell http://will.dwinnell.com

From what I have read of fuzzy logic it is all about shades of gray. If this is the case there is definitely no room for the black and white of binary logic.

Besides the fact that there is a difference between 'binary' and 'binary logic', there is, in fact, plenty of room for binary logic. Let's assume, for example, that we're implementing 256 shades of grey. Then each value can be represented by 8 boolean values, and each operation on one, two, or more grey-values can be represented by a set of operations on 8, 16, or more boolean values.

Why? From this perspective, black and white are shades of gray. -Will Dwinnell http://will.dwinnell.com

Sort of. Fuzzy logic is 'set' logic where objects have 'partial' membership in sets. So, Captain Kirk is an 85% member of the set of all good guys, and a 15% member of the set of all bad guys. ----- Robert C.
