Is this a good place to discuss fuzzy logic? I came up with a set of propositions that are paradoxical in classical logic, but which allow a solution of (1/3, 1/3, 2/3) in fuzzy logic:
x = y xor z
y = x and z
z = not x and not y
In fuzzy (or classical) logic, these can be rewritten as:
x = |y - z|
y = min(x, z)
z = min(1-x, 1-y)
The values of (1/3, 1/3, 2/3) provide the only valid solution to this.
What I'm wondering is (a) whether this is the simplest set of propositions that contain 1/3 as a solution to one of the propositions, (b) whether there is a general means for constructing such se…

For those who are interested in the trivial (classically non-paradoxical) example, here's the simplest version I can think of:
x = y and not z
y = (not x) and z
z = x and not y
In fuzzy (or classical) logic, these can be rewritten as:
x = min(y, 1-z)
y = min(1-x, z)
z = min(x, 1-y)
And for any alpha between 0 and 0.5 inclusive, x=y=z=alpha is a solution.
x = y and not z
y = (not x) and z
z = x and not y
In fuzzy (or classical) logic, these can be rewritten as:
x = min(y, 1-z)
y = min(1-x, z)
z = min(x, 1-y)
And for any alpha between 0 and 0.5 inclusive, x=y=z=alpha is a solution.
