  If someone has a fuzzy logic that definitively answers questions such as "what is the boundary between an individual and a system?" then he or she did the same thing Newton and Leibniz did with Xeno's paradoxes, and he or she would go down in history as both the greatest philosopher and a mathematician equal to Leibniz. But that doesn't happen to these guys and gals who work on fuzzy logic, does it?

That's the opposite of the idea. The logic is just to abandon a discrete boundary (physics does this in many cases). I think my use of 'fuzzy' might have sparked a different debate. Not one I find convincing (if Science then Philosophy, not Philosophy ∴ not Science ? um...) but I don't much rate 'fuzzy logic' for mathematical reasons. That's another rabbit hole! Thanks for clarifying.
