Crisp Sets and Classical Logic
Crisp sets form the backbone of classical logic and set theory. In a crisp set, each element is either a full member or not a member at all — there is no middle ground. This is known as binary or two-valued membership. If you consider the set of even numbers, for instance, any given integer is either even (and thus in the set) or not even (and thus not in the set). This strict, yes-or-no inclusion underpins classical logic, where every statement is either true or false, and nothing in between. This approach is foundational for many areas of mathematics and computer science, providing clear and unambiguous rules for reasoning and computation.
1234567891011import numpy as np # Define a universe of numbers universe = np.arange(10) # Define a crisp set: even numbers even_set = universe % 2 == 0 # Boolean array: True if even, False if odd # Show set membership for number, is_member in zip(universe, even_set): print(f"Number {number}: Member of even_set? {is_member}")
The code above uses a boolean array to represent membership in a crisp set. Each value in the array corresponds to whether a number in the universe is an even number: True means the number is in the set, while False means it is not. This models the essence of crisp sets — membership is absolute and binary. However, this rigid approach can be limiting when you try to model real-world concepts that are not strictly black or white. For example, the concept of tall people does not have a universally agreed cutoff; someone might be considered somewhat tall rather than simply tall or not tall. In such cases, binary logic cannot capture the nuance or gradation present in actual human reasoning, which is where fuzzy logic begins to offer a more flexible alternative.
