Abstract
A quasi-natural language has been designed which can be used to formulate in fuzzy manner dynamic behavioral properties of systems. The language imitates English both syntactically and semantically. Its syntax also corresponds to that of APL, making computerized exploration of implied behavior possible without further translation. The semantic system including rules of inference is based on fuzzy set theory. The language is an improvement over earlier versions with regard to versatility and computer economy.
