Abstract :
The logical structure of a formal theory of general chemistry, where the properties of all molecules are deduced from those of the constituting atoms and bonds (whose properties are assigned a priori), has been constructed. This theory, however, admits the material world as a model ("the theory represents the reality") only if its mathematical structure is based on fuzzy arithmetics. In this way fuzzy logic enters as the basic element of foundational theory like chemistry, rather than simply a tool to manage poorly defined situations.
