description

Using an arbitrary variety of algebras, the paper introduces a fuzzified version of the notion of attachment in a complete lattice of Guido, to provide a common framework for the concept of hypergraph functor considered by different authors in the literature. The new notion also gives rise to a category of variable-basis topological spaces which is a proper supercategory of the respective category of Rodabaugh.
