ok, it's really a reminder to get the Hofstadter/Rucker Math put up.

1) Fuzzy Logic
2) Fractal mathematics
3) Set Theory
4) Next Order Statistics

Any connection to Rudy Rucker?

The same.

I have Infinity and the Mind and Mind Tools and there are several runs of logic in both that could be of assistance in the effort to thread Fuzzy Logic into Depletion Modeling.

I do not, however, have a good text on Fuzzy Logic. But I'll bet someone here does!

Chaos Theory and Fractals Bring Order to PK and PD

Changing mindsets to embrace “fuzzy thinkingâ€

Look - I hate to be a cranky bastard but as a *a**em**ici*** (fill in blanks) I find it irritating that these things are somehow thought to be in any way connected to PO depletion modeling. In particular Set Theory has no relevance whatsoever to modeling of any kind. Fuzzy logic where it has applications is just probabilistic modeling - no need to confuse the issue by giving it a fancy name. Next Order Stats? Never heard of it and it doesn't even google. So far the modeling here isn't complex enough to bring fractals in to it.

That said - and sorry for being grumpy - these things can be very beautiful and interesting.
