    Quoting from an article on page 32 of the March 18, 1991 issue of
   "Information Week", fuzzy logic is "a generalization of the mathematical
   notion of set membership, in which an element may have partial membership
   in a set."   For more information I would suggest reading the papers and
   books of Lofti Zadeh.
