Fuzzification and defuzzification.

We use triangular membership functions to fuzzify the continuous gene levels of an effector e into fuzzy sets. As shown by the magenta arrow, a continuous gene level of l_e = 0.25 is fuzzified into the fuzzy value <L(low,l_e) = 0.5, L(med,l_e) = 0.5, L(high,l_e) = 0.0>. This can be reversed by defuzzification without loss of information.
