   Can you tell me what was the original word, or better, in which part is   
   was?   
      
   Basically the major terms, if you can read Russian (:-)):   
      
   "ÒÞ×ÜÞÖÝÞáâì" = possibility   
   "ÝÕÞÑåÞÔØÜÞáâì" = necessity   
   "áÛãçÐÙÝÞáâì" = randomness   
   "ÝÕçÕâÚÞáâì" = fuzziness   
   "çÕâÚØÙ" = crisp   
      
   If the question is, whether necessity is "consequentiality". Well, it is an   
   interesting view. In the following sense it might be true. nec(A|B) is a   
   fuzzy equivalent of "B is a fuzzy subset of A". So if B is treated as the   
   "circumstance", then A is "forced" by it to the extent measured in   
   necessity.
