Essence and Fuzzy Logic



"One of the concepts of fuzzy logic is 'the whole in the part,' which in my interpretation means that the essence of a whole, complete object is contained within a piece of the object. For example, an apple is an apple; take a bite out of it, and it is incomplete, but it is still an apple. Is the bite you took out of it also an apple? Depends on your interpretation."

(from my journal, January 3rd, 2003)

A great introduction ot fuzzy logic is a book called "Fuzzy thinking" by Bart Kosko.
