Abstract
This article is a preliminary draft for initiating and commencing a new pioneer dimension of expression. To deal with higher-dimensional data or information flowing in this modern era of information technology and artificial intelligence, some innovative super algebraic structures are essential to be formulated. In this paper, we have introduced such matrices that have multiple layers and clusters of layers to portray multi-dimensional data or massively dispersed information of the plithogenic universe made up of numerous subjects their attributes, and sub-attributes. For grasping that field of parallel information, events, and realities flowing from the micro to the macro level of universes, we have constructed hypersoft and hyper-super-soft matrices in a Plithogenic Fuzzy environment. These Matrices classify the non-physical attributes by accumulating the physical subjects and further sort the physical subjects by accumulating their non-physical attributes. We presented them as Plithogenic Attributive Subjectively Whole Hyper-Super-Soft-Matrix (PASWHSS-Matrix) and Plithogenic Subjective Attributively Whole-Hyper-Super-Soft-Matrix (PSAWHSS-Matrix). Several types of views and level-layers of these matrices are described. In addition, some local aggregation operators for Plithogenic Fuzzy Hypersoft Set (PPFHS-Set) are developed. Finally, few applications of these matrices and operators are used as numerical examples of COVID-19 data structures.

Introduction
Classical mathematics and its applications are based on certain laws and results, while they can be observed in everyday life. When the human mind makes decisions about scientific, philosophical, or economic facts, it is not 100% sure of its results. The natural human brain exhibits a certain uncertainty factor and precariousness in its judgments and conclusions due to different opinions about attributes, events, and information. Therefore, to manage this vagueness in the study of mathematics In 1965 Zadeh [1] introduced fuzzy mathematics. In the theory of fuzzy mathematics, all laws and results are discussed by considering some degree of certainty or truth (membership) and some degree of uncertainty or the opposite of truth (non-membership), so that the combined effect of membership and non-membership is considered complete. That means if membership value of any element x ∈ X with respect some attribute A is represented by, μ A (x) ∈ [0, 1] , ∀ x ∈ X and non-membership is represented by υ A (x) ∈ [0, 1] , ∀ x ∈ X such that μ A (x) + υ A (x) =1, ∀ x ∈ X, then the general representation of a fuzzy set is {x : μ A (x)}.
In 1986 Atanassov developed the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set Theory (IFS) [2, 3]. In IFS theory, Atanassov expanded the vagueness of the human mind by addressing the doubt which arises in assigning membership and non-membership. The doubt which is evoked in decision making was quantified by using linguistic scales and expressed by assigning a numeric value between “0” and “1". Atanassov named this doubt the level of hesitation that was measured by assigning a degree to the hesitation denoted by ι A (x) ∈ [0, 1] ∀ x ∈ X. The elements of IFS are expressed as {x : (μ A (x) , υ A (x))} with a modified condition μ A (x) + υ A (x) + ι A (x) = 1, ∀ x ∈ X. It is observed that the degree of hesitation of IFS is a dependent factor. Smarandache further expanded the Cloud of vagueness by introducing Neutrosophic Set [4–6]. He introduced indeterminacy and considered the degrees of membership, non-membership, and hesitation/indeterminacy as independent factors. These three factors are represented in a unit cube with the non-standard unit interval ] 0-,1+]. The neutrosophic set was represented as {x : (μ A (x) , υ A (x) , ι A (x))} with modified condition 0 ⩽ (μ A (x) + υ A (x) + ι A (x) ⩽ 3. Some further latest dilation and modernization of neutrosophic set are portrayed in [7–12]. In 1999, Molodtsov introduced the soft set [13], where he represented the elements of this set as a parameterized family of the subset of the universal set and thereafter some of the further extensions of the soft set were discussed in, [14–16].
Later, in 2018, Smarandache [17, 18] introduced Hypersoft set and plithogenic hypersoft set. In these sets he transformed the function of a single attribute into a multi-attribute/sub-attribute function and assigned a combined membership μA1×A2×…×A N (x), non-membership υA1×A2×…×A N (x), and Indeterminacy ιA1×A2×…×A N (x) , ∀ x ∈ X with condition A i ∩ A j = φ for the case of hypersoft set. Whereas individual memberships non-memberships and indeterminacies were assigned for each given attribute for the case of the plithogenic Hypersoft-Set. And introduced hybrids of Crisp/Fuzzy/Intuitionistic Fuzzy and Neutrosophic Hypersoft-Set and Plithogenic Hypersoft-Set. By introducing these sets he raised many open problems for the development of new literature, such as the development of appropriate modern algebraic structures for expressing such widely dispersed higher-dimensional information and the formulation of MADM techniques.
In 2019 Rana et al. [19] extended the Plithogenic Hyper-Soft Set to Plithogenic Whole-Hyper-Soft Set and introduced a new path of organized expression as hypersoft-matrix and Hyper-super-soft-matrix and formulated some local aggregation operators. When these local operators were applied to the Plithogenic Fuzzy Hyper-Soft Set (PFHSS), a new type of soft set emerged called the Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole Hyper-Soft Set (PFWHSS). In addition, the Plithogenic Fuzzy Hyper-Soft Set and the Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole Hyper-Soft Set were presented as a modern extended matrix in the fuzzy environment called Plithogenic Fuzzy Hyper-Soft Matrix (PFHS-Matrix) and Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole Hyper-Soft Matrix. These Hypersoft Matrices are made up of the parallel layers of ordinary matrices that represent parallel universes, parallel realities, parallel events, or parallel information.
In the next phase, Rana et al. [20] further generalized the Plithogenic Whole Hyper-Soft Set to Plithogenic Crisp/Fuzzy/Intuitionistic/Neutrosophic Subjective Hyper-Soft Set and represented it in the expanded version of Soft-Matrix in the fuzzy environment known as the plithogenic subjective hyper-super-soft matrix. Furthermore, these modern matrix expressions were used to develop a new higher dimensional ranking model called the Local-Global Universal Subjective Ranking Model. It is also revealed that the Plithogenic Whole Hyper-Soft Matrix (PWHS Matrix) is a special case of the Plithogenic Subjective Hyper-Super-Soft Matrix (PSHSS Matrix). Additional literature on Hyper-Soft Set and Plithogency can be found in [21–26].
This article, structured as, Section 2, describes materials such as some new concepts of the expanded plithogenic universe, such as universal collective consciousness, clustered data of the accelerated universe, and some Preliminaries. Section 3 contains a brief description of the Generalized Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole HyperSoft and its novelties with some basic concepts and new definitions of Plithogenic Hypersoft Set/Matrix, index-based views of parallel matrix layers. Section 4 describes the development of local aggregation operators for PFHSS matrix. Section 5 presents the construction of hyper-supersoft matrices and their application as COVID-19 data structures. Section 6 mentions conclusions, discussions, and some open questions for future research.
Materials, methods, and preliminaries
In this article, on the first level, we have expanded the previously presented Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole HyperSoft Set and Plithogenic Subjective HyperSoft Set [19, 20] to Plithogenic Attributive Subjectively Whole HyperSoft Set (PASWHS Set) and Plithogenic Subjective Attributively Whole HyperSoft Set (PSAWHS Set). To represent these newly introduced hypersoft sets, a new type of matrix structure of connected matrix layers (hypersoft matrix) and connected clusters of matrix layers (hyper-super-soft matrix) is designed. These super-algebraic matrix structures are initially formulated in a fuzzy environment named the Plithogenic Attributive Subjectively Whole Hyper-Super-Soft-Matrix (PASWHSS-Matrix) and the Plithogenic Subjective Attributively Whole-Hyper-Super-Soft-Matrix (PSAWHSS-Matrix). These advanced types of matrices are generated by the hybridization of hyper matrices, super matrices, and soft matrices [13–20, 24–27]. These hypersoft matrices are sets/clusters of connected parallel matrix layers that represent clusters of parallel universes, parallel realities, Parallel events, or parallel information (a combination of attributes and sub-attributes relating to subjects). Furthermore, these modern matrices are rank three and four tensors with three and four variation indices, respectively. Later on, various types of cross-sectional sights are described as parallel layers of hypersoft matrices. These cross-sectional sights are formulated by taking multiple variations in numerous ways and exhibit some symmetries in their structures regarding their number of rows and columns. Furthermore, some aggregation operators are structured. Application of these aggregation operators and Hyper-Super-Soft Matrices are provided as COVID-19 Data structures.
Now comes the query, “Why do we use HyperSoft and Hyper-Super-Soft matrices specifically for the expression of Plithogenic HyperSoft Set, Plithogenic Subjective HyperSoft Set, and Plithogenic Attributive HyperSoft Set?” The answer described in (2.1–2.3), and (3.1.1–3.1.5) could certainly be convincing.
Expanded plithogenic universe
This Plithogenic Universe is so huge and expanded in its interior (like having Fuzzy, Intuitionistic Fuzzy, Neutrosophic environments with Memberships, Non-Memberships, and Indeterminacies) and its exterior (manages many attributes, sub-attributes and might be sub-sub-attributes concerning to its subjects). To organize and analyze the dispersed information of such an expanded plithogenic universe we are in great need to formulate some super algebraic structures like these hyper-super-soft matrices.
Universal collective consciousness
Imagine you are a part of a lot of information, events, realities that are constantly flowing all around you. Like everything you see, everything you look at, everything you observe, is in a parallel view. By the way, we are all observing from a different angle so we all are getting a different piece of information, event, or a reality. Because of this connectedness with this universe and its universal attributes, we are actually collectively producing diversity in this flow of information, events, thoughts, and even realities (i.e., Universal Data, Universal Space, Universal Events, Universal Consciousness). That is why this universe is giving different sets of information and numerous interpretations of the same thing (
Clustered Data of accelerated universe
In order to find and pave the way for the expression of those parallel realities for such a massively accelerated huge universe. This is, of course, not viable through using regular algebra or matrices therefore, for the handling of this expanded universe along with its clustered and littered data, we are in dire need to construct like super-algebra or hypersoft and hyper-super-soft matrices and likely many more.

A Square or rectangular arrangements of numbers in rows and columns are matrices we shall call them simple matrices while a Super-Matrix is one whose elements are themselves matrices with elements that can be either scalars or other matrices.
Note: The elements of super-matrices are called sub-matrices i.e. a11, a12, a21, a22 are submatrices of the super-matrix a in this example, the order of super-matrix a is 2 × 2, and the order of sub-matrices a11 is 2 × 2, a12 is 2 × 2 a21 is 3 × 2 and order of sub-matrix a22 is 3 × 2, we can see that the order of super-matrix doesn’t tell us about the order of its sub-matrices.

In this section, some new concepts and definitions are described that would be utilized for the development of Generalized Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole Hyper-soft Set as PFASWHSS-Matrix and. PFSAHSS-Matrix. This literature is organized in three subsections in the following manner. A brief description of the Generalized Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole Hyper-soft Set is presented and its novelties are discussed. Some new concepts/definitions relevant to the Plithogenic hypersoft set are developed. The index-based views of PFHS-Matrix are described through variation indices
Generalized Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole Hyper-Soft Set and its Novelties
Matrix of connected matrix-layers
The clusters of connected matrix layers that we will introduce in this article are the expanded versions of the previously presented [19] Plithogenic Fuzzy Whole HyperSoft Set (PFWHS Set). In PFWHS-Set the aggregation operators and the Plithogenic Frequency Matrix Multi-Attribute Decision Making Technique have been developed for a single required combination of attributes/sub-attributes related to some given subjects. While in the new generalized versions of connected matrix layers, the aggregation operators and ranking models are not only developed for a single combination of attributes/sub-attributes rather, these operators and ranking models are extended to several parallel-connected layers of combinations of attributes/sub-attributes related to the given subjects.
For the development of this ranking model (FMMADM-Model), a novel type of Hyper-Soft and Hyper- Super-Soft Matrices are introduced. These special types of matrices would organize and utilize the widely expanded higher dimensional dispersed information. This information consists of several attributes, sub-attributes, and subjects that are connected by the cluster of matrix layers. These clusters of matrix layers are formulated as Hypersoft and Hyper-Super-Soft matrices. To preserve the expansion of the article inside the required limits of this journal, all of the expanded literature is first presented in the fuzzy environment.
In this version, some new definitions and concepts of the Generalized Plithogenic Fuzzy whole hypersoft set are developed. In addition, their representation is organized as hypersoft, and hyper-super-soft matrix. After the formulation of these hypersoft matrices, some aggregation operators are developed as the set laws of operations for these matrices. The application of these aggregation operators and the Hyper-Super-Matrix as a ranking model for the organization and classification of the conditions of COVID-19 patients will be presented later. This ranking model is called the classification model for COVID-19 states.
Multi-dimensional mathematical ways of expression
One novelty of this model is modern multi-dimensional mathematical form of expression. It is observed that from the fuzzy set to its extended versions such as intuitionistic, neutrosophic, and other extended fuzzy sets. The membership, non-membership, and indeterminacy were assigned to a specific element or subject concerning to its specific attribute. While in generalized plithogenic Whole-Hypersoft-Set, the fuzzy memberships were assigned to several subjects (elements of the universe) concerning their numerous attributes /sub-attributes separately as individual fuzzy memberships and at the same time collectively as whole fuzzy memberships. If these whole fuzzy memberships are constructed to accumulate information subject-wise for several subjects and being displayed for each attribute, then it is subjectively a whole hype-super-soft matrix. And if these whole fuzzy memberships are constructed to accumulate information attribute-wise for several given attributes while being displayed for each subject it is the case of attributively whole hyper-super-soft-matrix. In addition, this individual and collective information is organized in certain required time levels. Therefore, these hyper-super-soft matrices offer the viewer multiple inspecting expression options by observing many subjects with their numerous attributes/sub-attributes on multiple time levels and expressing their individual and collective states in many environments with different levels of ambiguity. For example, one possibility is to express individual and collective states/information in a crisp environment. This means expressing two opposing states of mind, either true (yes) or false (no). Another expression is the fuzzy environment, which contains some doubts about two opposite states, or an intuitionistic environment an expression with expanded doubts, or a neutrosophic environment that includes indeterminacy. Or some kind of combined environment that expresses different states of mind in one expression. Therefore, this novel form of expression and its mathematical structures are introduced to deal with higher-dimensional data/information/states of subjects by observing them through several angles of vision. The model of this article will first be expressed in the fuzzy environment in order to maintain the length restrictions of the article, further extended expressions will be introduced in future articles. To illustrate these multi-vision expressions, consider that a field is visited with several types of flowers, and it is observed that each type of flower has some specific beneficial properties (attributes) and property levels (sub-attributes) When, for a certain type of flower, its collective level of utility is expressed in a statement taking into account all attributes and expressed as a numerical value using fuzzy linguistic scales. It is a form of the whole expression (case of an attributively whole Hyper-Supersoft-Matrix). When, for a particular type of flower, the utility for each property (attribute) is expressed as a single statement or as a numerical value using fuzzy linguistic scales. It is another form of expression called individual expression (in the case of the Hypersoft Matrix) and the choice of environment will represent the state of mind of the observer or decision-maker.
Whole dilated and compact vision of the shattered information
This mathematical model describes such novel expressions (originally constructed in the plithogenic fuzzy environment) through the formulation and use of accumulated fuzzy memberships. This means that the entire vision of the scattered information/states/universe could be represented as a single numerical value (whole fuzzy membership) that offers a compact view of information/events/universe. Whereas the detailed insight view of the information/events/universe is indicated by certain numerical values that are called individual fuzzy memberships
Higher-dimensional Matrix with multi-layers and clusters of layers
To organize and analyze all relations between several subjects, their attributes (subject states), and sub-attributes (levels of states of subjects) by considering their individual and collective states and then expressing them in a single mathematical structure was not possible by using the classical algebra of ordinary matrices. To represent such higher dimensional information, some super algebraic structures like these hyper super matrices had to be constructed. These hyper-super-matrices can absorb such multidimensional information by using their multilayered structures. These higher dimensional matrices with multiple layers and clusters of layers are another novelty that is being introduced into matrix theory for the first time.
New framework of modeling
In this article, we have developed a new modeling framework that can not only organize the high dimensional numerical data/information, but rather would accept information in any form and transform it into the required mathematical form through linguistic scales. It would also expand or contract the information through the use of established operators. The elements of classical matrices are usually numbers and they follow the classical rules of addition, multiplication, or inversion, rather these modern high-dimensional matrix structures would interact through the modern flexible laws of Set theory such as soft set theory or extended fuzzy set theory, etc. These matrices would interact within the matrix through Local Operators which will be developed in this article. They would also interact outside the matrix through global operators that would be introduced in the next upcoming versions.
Definitions and concepts of GPFWHSS
In order to develop a better understanding of the literature, some new definitions and concepts are presented below.
Let’s consider a brief description of the mathematical terms and expressions used to develop the model.
Definition 3.2.1 (Universe of discourse):
U F (X) ={ x i } is the fuzzy universe of discourse where x i , i = 1, 2, …, M represents the number of subjects (elements of the universe). The subject can be perceived as a physical entity that is being discussed.

Definition 3.2.15 (Hyper-Super-Matrices): Hyper Super Matrices are clusters of super-matrix-layers. These are such Hyper-matrices that have several layers of super-matrices represented by more than two variation indices (d ≻ 2) and further their elements are matrices or scalars.
As we know, all ordinary M × N Matrices on real vector space are tensors of rank 2, i.e., these ordinary matrices are represented by the use of two variation indices. For example [aij] is an ordinary matrix having represents one variation by index i as rows of the Matrix and the second variation by index j represents columns of the Matrix. While the hyper-super-matrices are constructed using four variation indices which represent four types of variations that occur together. The hyper-super-matrices are rank-4 tensors. While the hypermatrices represented by three variation indices that describe three types of variations at a time are rank-3 tensors.
These Hyper Super matrices are formulated by hybridizing hyper-matrices and super-matrices.
A = [a ijk ] is a Hyper-Matrix. This hypermatrix represents three kinds of variations, described by the use of three indices i, j and k where the i, j, k are positive integers.
Definition 3.2.16 (HyperSoft-Matrix): Let U be the initial universe of discourse, and P (U) be the power set of U. Let
Note: All simple M × N Matrices on real vector space are tensors of rank 2. The new HyperSoft-Matrix (HS- Matrix) with three variation indices is a rank three tensor and the Hyper-Super-Soft matrix (HSS matrix) with four variation indices is a Fourth rank tensor. The HS-Matrix (third rank tensors) and HSS-Matrix (fourth rank tensors) are a generalized version of the ordinary matrices (second rank tensors).
The Plithogenic Fuzzy HyperSoft Set in matrix form is expressed as,
Plithogenic Fuzzy HyperSoft-Matrix represents three types of variation indices used to portray the fuzzy memberships
However, when we consider sub-attributes of respective attributes, the third type of variation arises. This third variation is on the index k that is used to portray sub-attributes (attribute levels). These sub-attributes are displayed in the form of L level layers of an M × N Matrix. The hyper-matrix is generated by these parallel layers of M × N ordinary matrices.
These level layers of hyper-matrix are categorized into three types: The front to back and inner Vertical level layers are generated byL number of matrix layers. Where each layer is an ordinary matrix of order M × N. The left to right and inner vertical level layers are generated by N number of matrix layers such that each layer is a Matrix of order M × L. The top to bottom horizontal and inner level layers are generated by M number of matrix layers of order, L × N.
Consider The PFHS-Matrix
Type-1 level-layers of PFHS-Matrix
If the Equation 3.3 is further expanded with respect to k by varying k from 1 to L, then L number of front to back, and inner level layers of PFHS-Matrix, would be constructed where each layer is a matrix of order M × N. We can describe numerous layers of PFHS-Matrix in three different ways, i.e., parallel layers of type-1 are obtained by vertically cutting a box matrix of order M × N × L from front to back. These level cuts are called level-layers of type 1. They can be expressed on a two-dimensional page by giving step-by-step variation to the index k in Equation (3.3) and represented as described below in Equation (3.20).
Example 3. Consider the PFHS-Matrix F described in Equation (3.8)
F represents the front view of PFHS-Matrix and its front to back two Matrix-layers are given bellow,
Similarly, on the other hand, each column of the M × N matrix when expanded at its rear side creates a matrix of order M × L which expands N (attribute) into vertical layers (attribute leves) i.e., like creating vertical sections from left to right of the box matrix of the dimension M × N × L.
These vertical slices from left to right are level layers of type 2 and are expressed on the two-dimensional page by varying the index j as represented in Equation (3.23).
In a similar manner, level layers of type-3 are top to bottom and middle inner layers. These parallel layers are combined to create M layers of L × N Matrix.
These top to bottom M number of slices are level layers of type-3 and can be expressed on the two-dimensional page by gradually varying the index i as described below in Equation (3.24).

(Plithogenic Fuzzy Attributive Subjectively-Whole Hyper-Super-Soft-Matrix)
The matrix representation of Plithogenic Attributive Subjectively Whole HyperSoft Set in the fuzzy environment named, PFASWHSS-Matrix. The elements of PFASWHSS-Matrix are matrix-layers, matrices, or scalars, so a PFASWHSS-Matrix is a hybridization of HS-Matrix and HSS-Matrix. The HSS-Matrix has such layers of matrices whose elements are further matrices or scalars. If one considers the HS-Matrix in a fuzzy environment then the subject-wise combined fuzzy memberships (
In this PFASWHSS-Matrix, four types of diversification are described. These diversification /variations are described as under, the first Variation of i = 1, 2, … M would produce M rows of F
The Hyper-Super-Soft Matrix consists of four clusters associated with four aggregation operators t = 1, 2, 3, 4. Every cluster has two matrix-layers associated with attribute-levels. Each matrix-layer has M rows and N columns.
These multiple clusters of parallel layers (parallel universes/realities/events/information) are accomplished by gradually varying the fourth index, which is used to represent multiple aggregation operators to accumulate the memberships of all subjects. These aggregation operators are called local operators.
The Plithogenic Fuzzy Subjective Attributively-Whole Hyper-Super-Soft-Matrix is shown in (Equation 5.1a) and is described on a similar basis for further details see Ref. [20]

The classical matrices would connect several equations and variables by rows and columns which is a limited approach to organize the higher-dimensional data consists of scattered information in numerous forms and vagueness levels therefore to broaden the approach of organizing the higher-dimensional data this unique Model of hyper-super-soft matrix is constructed. The set operations can be performed at each position (i, j) with a localized computation that is applied within the Matrix layer. This is a huge constructed matrix that first connects rows and columns like the classical matrix and then connects the sets of rows and columns as matrix layers. At this stage, it is called the hyper matrix. In each hyper-matrix layer, more matrices would be connected known as super-matrix and these super-matrices would be further connected as hyper-super-matrix, as described in the presented model. Equations 5.12, and 5.15 present examples of this Connected Hyper-Super-Matrix. In this article, we developed the Max, Min, Averaging, and Complement operators for the PFASWHSS-Matrix and PFSAWHSS-Matrix. Applying the aggregation operator to a particular layer of the PFHS-Matrix would compress the entire layer of rows and columns into a single column (case of constructing PFSAWHSS matrix) or a single row (in constructing PFASWHSS matrix) The final PFASWHSS-Matrix and the PFSAWHSS-Matrix are designed to organize the COVID-19 data structure and are presented in Equation 5.13.

Therefore, subjects x1, x2 would be admitted on their second visit as their attributively whole Fuzzy memberships are 80%. It is observed that the Global Complement PFASWHSS-Matrix This modern hyper-super-matrix has shown the individual and cumulative effect of universe/event/reality/information through several angles of visions in a fuzzy environment. These angles of vision are described through the use of Max, Min, Averaging, and complement operators. These operators represent optimistic, pessimistic, neutral, and antithetical behavior of the universe in the fuzzy environment.
Future open problems
In this article, we have developed the Max, Min, Averaging, and Complement operators for PFASW HSS-Matrix and PFSAWHSS-Matrix which represent a Hyper-Neutrosophic approach of considering Optimist, Pessimist, Neutral and Antithetical behavior of the Universe/Event/Reality/Information. In addition, some other local operators can be developed to express a broader approach. The choice of a suitable environment like Crisp, Fuzzy, Intuitionistic, or Neutrosophic would reflect the state of mind of the observer. Moreover, this Model of expression (Hyper-Super-Matrix) has the capability of the adoption of any suitable environment to reflect the worth style nature with its physical and non-physical aspects. The aggregation operators are applied row-wise to compact a certain Matrix-layer into a single column and applied column-wise to compact a certain layer of the Matrix into a single row. This procedure of development and application of aggregation operators was carried out by considering only the front view of the dilated Matrix i.e. Type-1 level-layers of PFHS-Matrix described In equation 3.14. This development and Application would be extended to Type-2 level layers of PFHS-Matrix described in equation 3.17. This unique construction model is presented, as an example in the Fuzzy environments by considering the front view of the dilated Matrix i.e Type-1 level-layers of PFHS-Matrix described In Equation 3.14 to preserve the duration of the article within the required limits of this general. later, the proposed unique built examples would be constructed in various suitable environments taking into account other described views of the matrix.
By considering Type-3 level layers of PFHS-Matrix described in Equation 3.18. and using the proposed extensions Extended Attributive and Subjective Models would be constructed.
