Stefan,

Let us put fuzzy sets to one side for the moment
and take up the matter of belief that you raised,
as I believe that your making that connection is
very pers-picacious.

As it happens, there was a moment in the history of philosophy
when a thinker of note was driven almost to the point of, well,
despair in his trials to analyze situations of belief by means
of cobbled together dyadic relations, and I truly believe that
had he persisted just a little while longer he might've broken
through the mental blockade of hidebound habits to try triadic
relation instead.  But it was not to be, partly because he was
discouraged in his efforts by the criticism of another thinker
of note whose opinion, I believe, he may have trusted too much.

At any rate, let us enter the fray
in medias res at the point where
Russell asks this question:

“How shall we describe the logical form of a belief?”

And just by way of picking up the res
into the middle of which we've jumped:

To be continued ...
