Abstract
Goguen categories were introduced as a suitable calculus for L-fuzzy relations, i.e., for relations taking values from an arbitrary complete Brouwerian lattice L instead of the unit interval [ 0, 1 ] of the real numbers. Such a category may provide some relational constructions as products, sums or subobjects. The aim of this paper is to show that under an assumption on the lattice L one may require without loss of generality that the related relations are crisp, i.e., all entries are either the least element 0 or the greatest element 1 of L.
