An Overview of the Fuzzy Calculi
2022
What has been discussed up to now allows us to assume that the roots of fuzzy sets are in Language and, thus, that Fuzzy Logic deals with both Language and Commonsense Reasoning. Fuzzy Logic’s main goal is the representation of statements whose meaning is not precise, but it can as well capture the case in which statements are precise.
Looking for Some Historical Roots
2022
Knowledge comes from the observation that what surrounds us is provoked by the questions people poses when thinking on it; is reachecorrespondingd thanks to reasoning, and usually through establishing hypotheses and further testing them and their consequences against the reality. Speculation lays at the basic level of both ‘thinking on it’, and ‘establishing and testing hypotheses’.
Context, Inference’s Safety, Proving and Further Comments
2022
In no way does this Chap. 2 try to reach definitive conclusions. It is just a preliminary inquiry, containing no more than some initial reflections made basing Commonsense Reasoning on perception. Specifically, on the possibilities that measurable meaning and Indistinguishability Operators offer for its study. Human beings are slave of their senses that, usually, do not distinguish things below some threshold.
Trying to Pose the Main Problem: Measurable Meaning
2022
We have shown the necessity to reconsider the concept of ‘meaning’. In this framework ‘meaning’ should be a situational concept requiring to be bounded by specific definitions rendering it applicable to our needs. Membership functions should as well be seen as ‘measures’ of meaning, which would give them a meaning as well.
Introduction
2022
‘Natural Reasoning’, that with which lay people decide their daily actions, also called Ordinary, Everyday, or Commonsense Reasoning, can be seen as ruled by the universal laws defining its formal ‘skeleton’.
Examples on the Analysis of Statements Trough Design
2022
The first example concerns the analysis of two statements on which very few things are known, with the goal of establishing which one is truer, and what should be previously known in order to capture their respective meanings.

MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) are involved in the regulation of several biological processes such as development, differentiation, metabolism, apoptosis and proliferation. Recently, it has been shown that deregulated expression of miRNAs are present in different human cancers, suggesting a potential role in carcinogenesis [1,2]. Recent evidence suggests that miRNAs may represent potential new therapeutic approaches in patients with dru…
Pensare il bene comune / Thinking the Common Good

«PENSIAMO A UN’ARCHITETTURA IN GRADO DI AGIRE COME BALUARDO NELLA DIFESA E PRETESA DEI DIRITTI LADDOVE VI SIANO FRONTIERE CREATE DA MARGINALITÀ ED ESCLUSIONE.» «WE ARE THINKING OF ARCHITECTURE CAPABLE OF SERVING AS A OBSERVATION POST TO DEFEND AND AFFIRM RIGHTS WHERE BOUNDARIES HAVE BEEN CREATED BY MARGINALIZATION AND EXCLUSION.»
Shared Administration for Smart Cities
2016
Within the paradigm of Smart Cities, the role played by urban communities is becoming ever more crucial. This chapter, in particular, explores the paradigm of “Shared administration” as the most effective urban governance model that helps urban communities to operate as smart communities taking care and regenerating common urban spaces. According to this administrative culture, the “Regulation for collaboration between citizens and administration” and the “Pact” are measures to implement practical opportunities to empower citizens, to free their energies and to enhance their knowledge and competences in a renewed alliance with the public institutions.
