An alternative implementation of the concept of fuzzy granule is proposed. The granules of a universe can be modeled by an array of matrices that contains the different relations between them. The most important relation is the degree of overlap of a granule with other granules. Initially this method requires the granules to take on values in a restricted vocabulary. This requirement is relaxed by dealing with linguistic hedges within the framework. An extension to accommodate a change in granulation resolution is also provided. The formal definition of these constraints over fuzzy granules and their rules of propagation and inference are also presented in the paper.
