Probability on collections of fuzzy sets can be developed as a generalization of the classical probability on $\sigma$-algebras of sets. A {\L}ukasiewicz tribe is a collection of fuzzy sets which is closed under the standard fuzzy complementation and under the pointwise application of the {\L}ukasiewicz t-norm to countably many fuzzy sets. An observable is a fuzzy set-valued mapping defined on a $\sigma$-algebra of sets and satisfying some additional properties; formally, the role of an observable is in a sense analogous to that of a random variable in classical probability theory. This article aims at studying and surveying some properties of observables on a {\L}ukasiewicz tribe of fuzzy sets with a special focus on many-dimensional observables. Namely, the definition and basic construction techniques of observables are discussed. A method for a reasonable construction and interpretation of a joint observable is proposed. Further, the contribution contains results concerning conditioning of observables. We continue in our study \cite{kroupa_SC} of conditional independence in this framework and conclude that semi-graphoid properties are preserved.
