Just according to your definition:

HEIGHT = (N, G, T, X, S)

where

1. N = "HEIGHT"

2. G is a grammar

3. T is a closure of G

4. X = { SHORT, MEDIUM, TALL }

5. S = one of HEIGHT. For example, ( 1.0, 0.5, 0.0 )

See, nothing in your or my definition prevents us from building
different sets of linguistic variables.

BUT these variables cannot be mixed as if they were from the same set
(in your terms as if they share same G, T, X). This looks like the
source of confusion: no set can be mixed its subsets.

You could claim that no hierarchical sets of FLV needed and one should
always work with the same X (and same G,T). I doubt that you would.
