CWW is based on fuzzy logic. In science there is a deep-seated tradition of according much more respect to numbers than to words. In a fundamental way, CWW is a challenge to this tradition. What is not widely recognized is that, today, words are used in place of numbers in a wide variety of applications ranging from digital cameras and household appliances to fraud detection systems, biomedical instrumentation and subway trains. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCWW offers a unique capability--the capability to precisiate natural language. Unprecisiated (raw) natural language cannot be computed with. A key concept which underlies precisiation of meaning is that of the meaning postulate: A proposition, p, is a restriction on the values which a variable, X--a variable which is implicit in p--is allowed to take. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCWW has an important ramification for mathematics. Addition of the formalism of CWW to mathematics empowers mathematics to construct mathematical solutions of computational problems which are stated in a natural language. Traditional mathematics does not have this capability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274551320727,"sku":"9783642436499","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642436499.webp?v=1769280264","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/computing-with-words-principal-concepts-and-ideas-9783642436499","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
