A vital problem for fuzzy classifier systems of the Michigan type is the conflict of competition and cooperationof rules. Whereas the classical approach of a classifier system circumvents this complicacy by the total lack ofcollaboration of classifiers, the fuzzification approach has to deal with it. This paper proposes a solution to thisdilemma by introducing a special encoding of the classifiers and by performing a selection algorithm on a sub group of firing rules.
