  • Abstract
    The theory of Cloud sets is presented and standard techniques of set theory allow for the development of a rich algebra of cloud sets. When measures are added we can introduce the Cloud complement and show that Cloud Sets are isomorphic to fuzzy sets. However, the fundamental manipulations, techniques, and definitions are simpler and more amenable to analysis. For example, the extension principle is easy to define.
