This is an example of a fuzzy rule as articulated in the user-editable syntax we developed. The definition is labeled (red) for the reader. This is a fuzzy rule with one antecedent (x line) and one consequent (y line) variable. The antecedent conditions (z line) and consequent conditions ( line) have a one-to-one relationship. As an example, if “Risk_from_materials_or_features_consequence” equals “low,” then “Process_availability” is set to “high.”
