Asking how many is like asking somebody to precisely define which numbers are small and which are large. These concepts are vague, there are logic systems which analyse vague phenomena known as ‘fuzzy’ logic systems. But based on the ending of your comment, I can’t tell if you’re serious about any of it.
- quinnjh 5y agoI guess the point i was trying to make, while dismissing the "validity" of it is that encapsulated factual models all still require some references- at some point truth breaks down into trust in the chains of composition. I dont understand fuzzy logic nearly enough - but it needs some kind of rule set and knowledgebase yes? Lets say you program a fuzzy logic controller that returns large=true for numbers > 100, and i program mine to return large = true for numbers > 10. Like you say, its subjective. These rulesets are chosen as truth in the same way the grenwich meantime is 0* lat, and we dont use the paris meantime because we arent french revolutionaries and also the brits had stronger empire. If i came off as joking its bc i am aware of the lunacy of my take. To call "normal" good is a strong position, but who was norm?? And why do we all have to measure up to him?
