Fuzzy sets. 2024

Row x, shelf Y, place z. The image of a person is the base point in the coordinate system. Head: strict profile, empty gaze. The proportional ratios of the parts are a constant. Ceremonial tunic, regalia, are significant characteristics that must be taken into account. Preserve it, keep it in strict order. A fierce faith in science does not tolerate a clash with chaos. We just need to wait out the troubled times. Meanwhile, outside the walls of the vault, the classical scientific picture of the world is blurring into gasoline puddles without a clear structure, which shimmer with many colors and reflect us in strange distorted forms. The era of the unequivocal 0-1/yes-no remained in books and nostalgic professor's speeches. We observe, feel, and physically experience a time of uncertainty. Man is dragged into a stream of non-stop mutations, giving birth to beautiful and terrifying chimeras. They are evidence of the deformation and melting of the scientific myth about the sterility of classification, an indispensable tool for cognition. Classification = separation. This method has become a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon-scientist. And now he's infected with a virus... Doubts?! Fuzzyset is a set|community with an obscure probabilistic set of elements. Now the membership of each element in the set is only a function of probability.
