   Dear Steve   
      
   I have a question for you.  I am an Engineer who has worked with Fuzzy   
   Systems.   
      
   It seems to me, that in consideration of coupled system, then one should   
   try to employ fuzzy coupling equations, representations.   
      
   If you need to use one and one only it should be the average or better   
   yet median.   
      
   What as an engineering approach that might yield better insight is to   
   try to find the lower on minimal representation and the maximal.   
   A good trick here if you can concentrate on the upper and lower extremes   
   is that the >>average<< equation you could use would simply be the   
   geometric mean of the min and max.
