We introduce a new R1 separation axiom for fuzzy topological spaces. W
e identify, from the literature, which lower fuzzy separation axioms a
re compatible with our R1 axiom. We provide alternative descriptions f
or this R1 axiom in the special setting of fuzzy neighborhood spaces.
This special case has standard higher fuzzy separation axioms. In it,
we establish aspects of compatibility of our R1 axiom with those highe
r separation axioms, as well as with fuzzy compactness.
