Hopefully this correction will make things even more clear. I had scanned your previous response without looking deeply at it because I was not going to work on this until today in any case. For anyone curious about the context for my questions, it is an approximate reasoning (i.e., expert system) model using fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic.
