   Just according to your definition:   
      
   HEIGHT = (N, G, T, X, S)   
      
   where   
      
   1. N = "HEIGHT"   
      
   2. G is a grammar   
      
   3. T is a closure of G   
      
   4. X = { SHORT, MEDIUM, TALL }   
      
   5. S = one of HEIGHT. For example, ( 1.0, 0.5, 0.0 )   
      
   See, nothing in your or my definition prevents us from building   
   different sets of linguistic variables.   
      
   BUT these variables cannot be mixed as if they were from the same set   
   (in your terms as if they share same G, T, X). This looks like the   
   source of confusion: no set can be mixed its subsets.   
      
   You could claim that no hierarchical sets of FLV needed and one should   
   always work with the same X (and same G,T). I doubt that you would.
