TL;DR
A behavioral foundation for fuzzy measures is given, to be used in the maximization of 'Choquet-expected utility', which opens the way to empirical verification or falsification of fuzzy measures, and frees them of their 'ad hoc' character.
Abstract
In Savage [41] a \\xe2\\x80\\x98behavioral foundation\\xe2\\x80\\x99 was given for subjective probabilities, to be used in the maximization of expected utility. This paper analogously gives a behavioral foundation for fuzzy measures, to be used in the maximization of \\xe2\\x80\\x98Choquet-expected utility\\xe2\\x80\\x99. This opens the way to empirical verification or falsification of fuzzy measures, and frees them of their \\xe2\\x80\\x98ad hoc\\xe2\\x80\\x99 character.

By relying on the use of linguistic variables and fuzzy algorithms, the approach provides an approximate and yet effective means of describing the behavior of systems which are too complex or too ill-defined to admit of precise mathematical analysis.

The theory of possibility described in this paper is related to the theory of fuzzy sets by defining the concept of a possibility distribution as a fuzzy restriction which acts as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable.

The non-additivity of Sugeno's fuzzy measures is interpreted in terms of addition and the rationality of the Choquet integral is discussed and it is shown through concrete examples that it is reasonable as an integral with respect to a fuzzy measure.
