The term "fuzzy logic" in computing and control systems refers to a form of reasoning that allows for approximate rather than fixed or binary values. Unlike traditional Boolean logic, which categorizes inputs as either true or false, fuzzy logic enables systems to handle uncertainty and imprecision effectively. This makes it particularly useful in complex systems where human-like reasoning is required. Applications include control systems, decision-making processes, and artificial intelligence, where fuzzy logic can model the nuances of human cognition and operate with incomplete or vague information.
