This paper explores the application of rough set theory in analyzing ambiguous data within complete information systems. The study extends topological structures using equivalence relations, establishing an extension of topological lattice within lattices. Various relations on topological spaces generate different forms of exact and rough lattices. Building on Zhou's work, the research investigates rough sets within the extension topological lattice and explores the isomorphism between topology and its extension. Additionally, the paper investigates the integration of lattices and rough sets, essential mathematical tools widely used in problem-solving. Focusing on computer science's prominent lattices and Pawlak's rough sets, the study introduces extension lattices, emphasizing lower and upper extension approximations' adaptability for practical applications. These approximations enhance pattern recognition and model uncertain data with finer granularity. While acknowledging the benefits, the paper stresses the importance of empirical validations for domain-specific efficacy. It also highlights the isomorphism between topology and its extension, revealing implications for data representation, decision-making, and computational efficiency. This isomorphism facilitates accurate data representations and streamlines computations, contributing to improved efficiency. The study enhances the understanding of integrating lattices and rough sets, offering potential applications in data analysis, decision support systems, and computational modeling.
