abstract = {In this paper, we proposed a hybrid        M  -polar 3-spherical        Q  -fuzzy soft set model by integrating        M  -polar, 3-spherical, and        Q  -fuzzy soft sets. The model handles three-dimensional,        M  -polar parametrized data. Fundamental operations such as union, intersection, complement, maximum, minimum, direct sum, direct product, and a weighted geometric aggregation operator were defined within the proposed        M  -polar 3-spherical        Q  -fuzzy soft set framework. The new model enhanced flexibility and effectiveness in managing vagueness and uncertainty in complex decision-making problems. An application to artificial intelligence (AI) model selection and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) demonstrated the advantages of the proposed framework.}
