If we fuzzify [djuno], the fuzz filters down, needs be accounted for by fuzz
in the underlying situation.  Which or both get fuzzified: truth or
justification?  Fuzzying truth in this case (however it affects other cases)
is a bad plan, since it erases the distinction between knowledge and
reasonable but wrong beliefs (and so does away with the need  for [djuno],
here taken as a given).  So, presumably it is justification that gets fuzzy,
which does make sense.  Justification is already a matter of more or less and
of (arbitrary?) limines.  The only question left is whether the fuzz is
against an absolute standard (e.g. mathematics) or the limen at hand.  The
first seems more natural but leaves out the question of how good is good
enough.   That is, is "justified .75" enough to allow "known" at some value --
and what value?  Presumably, knowledge does not vary directly with
justification, for there are some levels of justification (below .5, say)
where the value of "known" is 0.  On the other hand, with the relative fuzz,
we get the the possibilities of fuzz values greater than 1 for normal "known"
values (presumably all such give "known 1").
I suspect that intentionality is a better kite to fly here than fuzz.
Sorry to drop this off just before I disappear into Florida for a week; I'll
try to pick it up when I get back, if this discussion has not disappeared yet
further into the mountain of stuff on this list.
