Abstract

This paper attempts to initiate the construction of a standardised basic theory of fuzzy topology. In general fuzziness is taken with respect to a complete lattice L satisfying the distributive law of finite meets over infinite joins, thus becoming a frame. When L is also continuous we define goodness in terms of the Scott topology following [Warner 1990], and insist on this as a minimal criterion in selecting standard fuzzy topological properties. For the closed unit interval, I, this reduces to Lowen’s goodness formulated in terms of lower semi-continuous functions [Lowen 1978].
