	about:
	This class implements a fuzzy rule of the form:
	IF fzVar1 AND fzVar2 AND ... fzVarn THEN fzVar.c
End Rem
Type TFuzzyRule
	'antecedent (usually a composite of several fuzzy sets and operators)
	Field m_pAntecedent:TFuzzyTerm
	'consequence (usually a single fuzzy set, but can be several ANDed together)
	Field m_pConsequence:TFuzzyTerm
