Sintesi	Fuzzy C-Means is a soft clustering algorithm in which every data point belongs to every cluster with a graded membership between 0 and 1, rather than being assigned to exactly one cluster. Originated by Joseph Dunn in 1973 and generalized by James Bezdek in 1981, it minimizes a fuzzy-weighted within-cluster variance, making it well suited to data whose groups overlap or have no sharp boundaries.	Granular computing is a problem-solving paradigm that processes information in 'granules' — clumps of objects drawn together by indistinguishability, similarity, or functionality — rather than at the level of individual data points. Articulated by Lotfi Zadeh in 1997 as fuzzy information granulation and developed into a broad framework, it provides a unifying umbrella over fuzzy sets, rough sets, and interval methods, letting analysis move to whichever level of detail a problem actually requires.
