I had presumed, along with Dmitry Kazakov, that FLV was shorthand for
Fuzzy Linguistic Variable. I have not seen the term Fuzzy Logic
Variable, but I would presume that a Fuzzy Logic Variable referred to
a variable whose value(s), in a very general sense, had truth value(s)
between zero and one. Thus Age could be 73 with truth value 0.8, or
could be a discrete fuzzy set (linguistic variable) with values Young,
Middle-aged or Old, or could even be a linguistic variable (level 2
fuzzy set) in which the linguistic variable Age could itself have a
truth value of 0.8. This is so unrestricted as to seem to be almost
useless. Has anyone else run into the term Fuzzy Logic Variable? Move
over, Scooter, now I'm confused.
