Abstract

Using the framework of ordered categories, the paper considers a generalization of the fuzzification machinery of algebraic structures introduced by Rosenfeld as well as provides a new approach to fuzzification of topological structures, which amounts to fuzzifying the underlying ''set'' of a structure in a suitably compatible way, leaving the structure itself crisp. The latter machinery allows the so-called ''double fuzzification'', i.e., a fuzzification of something that is already fuzzified.
