The doctrine of "judicial notice" enables the court to accept the truth of a matter relevant to the resolution of the dispute before it without the necessity of formal proof by a party. The notice taken may be of a matter of fact or law. In general, courts will take judicial notice of any matter that is so notorious as to be common knowledge or that is clearly established or capable of demonstration by references to a readily obtainable source of indisputable accuracy. 3, record 2, English, - judicial%20notice

No matter how we consider the family of level sets, they are objects scattered in topo. For this reason we can use a non-two-valued logic to handle them by "fuzzy optimization".... In fuzzy optimization, "the best" is a new evaluation in the structure of all evaluations, pulling back toward a synthesis. Any fuzzy optimization problem is an exploration of a knowledge tree. The constraints are partial sources of knowledge of partical descriptions of a common universe of discourse... the universe of alternatives... and by conjunction complete knowledge is derived. 1, record 3, English, - fuzzy%20optimization
