Typicality, Graded Membership, and Vagueness
This paper addresses theoretical problems arising from the vagueness of language terms, and intuitions of the vagueness of the concepts to which they refer. It is argued that the central intuitions of prototype theory are sufficient to account for both typicality phenomena and psychological intuitions about degrees of membership in vaguely defined classes. The first section explains the importa...
متن کاملConcept Membership vs Typicality in Sentence Verification Tasks
In the paper we discuss the relation between fuzzy sets and the graded membership and typicality effects found in the study of concepts. After a short overview of the topic, we present three experiments, carried out using the same method but with different situational contexts, which examine whether graded membership and typicality could be considered as independent factors capable of influenci...
متن کاملAn early approach toward graded identity and graded membership in set theory
The paper considers an early approach toward a (fuzzy) set theory with a graded membership predicate and a graded equality relation which had been developed by the German mathematician D. Klaua in 1965. In the context of the mathematical fuzzy logic MTL of left-continuous t-norms we discuss some properties of these graded relations. We compare the simultaneous recursive definitions of these rel...
متن کاملSpatial Vagueness and Second-Order Vagueness
This paper presents a geometric characterization of geographic objects with vague boundaries. Since the framework is based on ordering geometry and does not rely on numerical concepts, it can be applied to qualitative spatial reasoning. The characterization describes vague regions and gradual transitions between two vague regions. This approach takes into account that the region of all points t...
متن کاملCanonical typicality.
It is well known that a system weakly coupled to a heat bath is described by the canonical ensemble when the composite S + B is described by the microcanonical ensemble corresponding to a suitable energy shell. This is true for both classical distributions on the phase space and quantum density matrices. Here we show that a much stronger statement holds for quantum systems. Even if the state of...
