RETRACTED: Defining “Context” with Institutions as Fuzzy Rule Bases

We propose considering an institutional context as a fuzzy control system, and, thereby, the role of any given institution to be akin to a database of fuzzy rules. We develop this analogy for a hierarchical institutional system and provide an overview of the method for designing the database structure using a hierarchical system of linguistic rules. This, we submit, is as an interesting way of looking at institutional development with nested institutions.
