In the case the implication used in a fuzzy inference system is the MINIMUM, and we have rule that have the AND operator, the AND is specified as the MINIMUM also, the result membership function is simply the minimum of the antecedents. But when we have the operator OR (MAXIMUM), the implication also takes the minimum. I can't really understand the rule of MINIMUM implication method here.

For example:

IF ( temperature is warm) AND ( humidity is average) THEN (ventilation is strong).

For example, the degree of membership of each premise:

IF ( temperature is warm (0.7)) AND ( humidity is average (0.5)) THEN (ventilation is strong (???)).

Since the AND conjunction operator is the minimum we will take 0.5 and so we will cut the output membership function (strong) in 0.5.

If the conjunction operator was OR instead of AND, then we cut in 0.7. So I do not really see the minimum involvement in all this.
