Hi,

I have switched to use the term "Fuzzy Logic", since
Probability and/or Bayes is surely misleading.
"Fuzzy Logic" is quite old:

In 1965, in his essay Fuzzy Sets[5] - which had been
cited more than 70,000 times by mid-2017 - he first
presented his concept of a theory of fuzzy sets, which
became the nucleus and basis of the rapidly developing
fuzzy logic - (content: The Logic of Uncertainty  )
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotfi_Zadeh#Leistungen

This is also quite intersting, but PostgreSQL is not
the only database management system, that provides
such retrieval extensions:

Vectors are the new JSON

Bye
