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.
