Abstract

Addresses the problem of matching two fuzzy sets. Proposes a matching method that considers the extent to which both fuzzy sets have the same meaning. For a given degree of similarity between two sets, the same meaning decreases as the fuzziness increases and, in particular, for equal fuzzy sets the degree of matching is a function of the fuzziness only. A complete matching of two sets is obtained only when they are equal and crisp. Finally, the inverse problem is studied, of characterizing one of the sets used in the match when knowing the other set and the result of the matching.

Abstract

Purpose

To consider aspects of a theory of systemic construction by discussing two concepts which will assist in our understanding of the surrounding world which it is considered is made of both systemic and non‐systemic entities.

Design/methodology/approach

Considers how these entities (metasystem, network, transitron etc.) can be conceived and defined. Systemic frames notions are presented and examples of systems given. Discusses the historic use of the word “system” and systemic thinking and its varieties.

Findings

Discovered that on the basis of these concepts, an understanding of the surrounding world can be achieved which is not homogeneous but made of both systemic and non‐systemic entities. These can change when certain systemic properties are reached as well as in their specific degrees in their limitations and paradoxes.

Originality/value

Introduces an original approach to the life support system by proposing concepts that are discussed and defined and that will provide cyberneticians and systemists with a revised view of systemic thinking.
