We have been asked time and time again why Fuzzy? why one? Why not pick a modern catchy name that most new projects come up with. Well, it’s time to explain our name and why we decided to go with it, why we wanted our name to have a deeper meaning than just a catchy sounding word. Here are the definitions of the components of the name.
First of all we selected Fuzzy from the term Fuzzy Logic. One we took from the concept of infinite numbers.
Fuzzy Logic
In logic, fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth value of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1. It is employed to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false. By contrast, in Boolean logic, the truth values of variables may only be the integer values 0 or 1.
Fuzzy logic is based on the observation that people make decisions based on imprecise and non-numerical information. Fuzzy models or sets are mathematical means of representing vagueness and imprecise information (hence the term fuzzy). These models have the capability of recognising, representing, manipulating, interpreting, and utilising data and information that are vague and lack certainty. [Source: Wikipedia]
One
The difference between zero and one is infinity. Based on the principles mathematics, it is impossible to actually reach 1 when the incremental steps are infinitieth and yet every individual is a complete One. Yet every infitieth is in itself a one. Everyone is their own infinity, their own universe, their own life.
One, sometimes referred to as unity, is the first non-zero natural number. It is thus the integer after zero.
Any number multiplied by one remains that number, as one is the identity for multiplication. As a result, 1 is its own factorial, its own square and square root, its own cube and cube root, and so on. One is also the result of the empty product, as any number multiplied by one is itself. It is also the only natural number that is neither composite nor prime with respect to division, but is instead considered a unit (meaning of ring theory). [Source: Wikipedia]
Fuzzy.One
We understand that while all decisions can boil down to a binary decision, yes or no, 0 or 1. The way to reach that final step is in most cases fuzzy. Life is a series of fuzzy decisions made on a continuous basis. From birth till death we are constantly living within our own fuzzy lives. What we think are sometimes binary decisions are usually only the tip of the decision making process and the way there is rife with indecision.
Here are is a basic examples:
You feel hungry and you want to eat. The decision is based on a feeling of hunger, you want to eat, and that’s a biological binary decision, where your body is telling you it is hungry. Now you begin the process of deciding whether you want to eat, and if you do want to eat, what do you feel like eating? Do you need to cook or prepare something to eat, go out to buy it or is it a quick snack off the shelf? What if you decide to cook and you don’t have the ingredients? What if you have the ingredients but suddenly decide it’s better to just call for an Uber Eats or Food Panda? Or maybe raid the fridge? Do you wait or do you eat now? There are so many options firing through your mind and finally, after a long and fuzzy route, you end up making a final decision to eat a piece of left over pizza from last night that took your fancy when you opened the fridge door.
Now lets do this same decision making process for someone that doesn’t have a fridge and lives on $80 a month.
As you can see, life is fuzzy and its even fuzzier when you consider that there are 7.6 billion people each with their own fuzzy lives making decisions in their individual fuzzy way.
Summing Up
Life is fuzzy, and every individual is One, hence Fuzzy.One.
