Vagueness and Degrees of Truth
Vagueness is a common feature of natural language and real-world situations. It refers to concepts that do not have sharp boundaries, making it hard to assign them a precise definition. Words such as "tall", "warm", or "old" are inherently vague because there is no universal agreement on where the boundary lies. For instance, at what exact height does a person become "tall"? In classical, or binary, logic — also called crisp logic — each object either fully belongs to a set or it does not. This means a person is either "tall" or "not tall", with no room for uncertainty or gradation. This rigid approach struggles to handle the nuance and gradation present in concepts like "tall" or "warm", which are not black and white in everyday reasoning.
Fuzzy logic introduces the idea of degrees of truth to address this limitation. Instead of forcing every statement to be either entirely true or entirely false, fuzzy logic allows for partial membership in a set. This means that an object can belong to a category to some extent, with a value anywhere between 0 (completely false) and 1 (completely true). In contrast, binary membership only allows values of 0 or 1. For example, a person who is 5'10" might be considered "tall" to a degree of 0.7, reflecting that they are somewhat tall but not extremely so. This approach more closely matches how people interpret vague terms in daily life.
