The Sorites Paradox: Introduction to Fuzzy Logic
This IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) teaching video introduces Sorite's Paradox, a paradox involving a heap of sand (or some variation) and the question, "When is a heap of sand is considered a heap vs. a non-heap?"
The answer in response to this question is fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is logic based on degrees of truth (0-1) rather than 0s and 1s (true or false). What this means is that something can be both black and white (grey) instead of being just one of those two choices.
