What is Antipathetic Rule

Chapter 28
Handbook of Research on Fuzzy Information Processing in Databases
An antipathetic rule represents an adjustment to achieve a certain goal or objective. It indicates a system attempting to change from its current state to a goal state. This implies that if the current state is above the goal state, then the system forces it down. If the current state is below the goal state, the system pushes it up. An antipathetic rule provides useful stability but resists external changes.

Abstract
This chapter applies fuzzy logic to a dynamic causal mining (DCM) algorithm and argues that DCM, a combination of association mining and system dynamics for discovering causality patterns, needs a potentially more substantive approach for the user to understand the nature of extracted rules and information in a variety of contexts. Furthermore, the author hopes that the use of fuzzy logic will not only assist the user to make better decisions, but also assist in a better understanding of future behaviour of the target system.
