   HEIGHT is a fuzzy set, so it can be viewed as a FLV.

   I do not understand the problem. A set is always different from the   
   set of its subsets.   
      
   You cannot mix HEIGHT and, say, SHORT in one context because they are   
   defined over different domains. If you want to mix them, you have two   
   choices:   
      
   1. You stay in the domain {SHORT, MEDIUM, TALL}. Then you can mix   
   HEIGHT and {SHORT} (note the braces around SHORT).   
      
   2. You go to the original domain (R+). For this you "accumulate"   
   HEIGHT to get a corresponding fuzzy set in the original domain (R+).   
   This accumulated HEIGHT can be then mixed with SHORT.
