Abstract
The fuzzy set structure is analysed from the point of view of a new definition: Boolean tagged sets, which are constructed as a straightforward generalisation of the fuzzy set concept, but fully adapted to computational purposes. Boolean tagged sets are simply structured as sets whose members are tagged by a binary string, attached in turn to the vertices of a unit hypercube. Boolean tagged sets are so designed as to become useful in any field of applied mathematics, but they can also be seen as obviously prepared for chemical applications, associated to molecular information gathering and manipulation.
