The concepts all have in common the need to represent uncertainty and vagueness. The challenge results from the rigidity of boundary representation, including the absoluteness of instance value and the process of classification itself, provided by current techniques. When describing solutions, a softer approach seems necessary where the emphasis is on the focus on a particular thing from a particular perspective. Intelligent control (use of AI/ML etc.) could take advantage of partial compatibilities etc. if a softer representation was achieved. The solution representation appears to require * Expression of range, preference and focus as a fundamental part of}, }
