Abstract

The Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom-Purpose (DIKWP) model provides a structured framework for understanding cognitive processes and facilitating effective communication between stakeholders, including humans and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Central to this framework are the 3-No Problems—Incompleteness, Inconsistency, and Imprecision—which represent critical communication deficiencies that can impede mutual understanding and collaboration. Initially, these deficiencies were mapped specifically to Data, Information, and Knowledge components. However, this association proved to be incomplete, as these problems exhibit a cross-cutting nature, affecting multiple DIKWP components beyond their initial mappings. This document explores methodologies to achieve semantic completeness in covering the DIKWP semantic space by redefining and expanding the association of the 3-No Problems across all DIKWP components. Through comprehensive analysis and illustrative examples, we establish a holistic approach that ensures all facets of the DIKWP model are adequately addressed, thereby enhancing the robustness and effectiveness of human-AI interactions.

Effective communication within the DIKWP framework is essential for seamless collaboration between stakeholders. The 3-No Problems—Incompleteness, Inconsistency, and Imprecision—are significant barriers that can disrupt this communication, leading to misunderstandings, errors, and inefficiencies. Initially, these problems were mapped as follows:

• Incompleteness ↦ Data (D)

• Inconsistency ↦ Information (I)

• Imprecision ↦ Knowledge (K)

While this mapping offers clarity, it oversimplifies the multifaceted impact of these deficiencies. The 3-No Problems are inherently cross-cutting, influencing multiple components within the DIKWP model depending on the context of the interaction. This document investigates how to make the association of the 3-No Problems semantically complete, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the DIKWP semantic space.

The initial mapping assigns each No Problem to a single DIKWP component:

1. Incompleteness ↦ Data (D)

2. Inconsistency ↦ Information (I)

3. Imprecision ↦ Knowledge (K)

Limitations:

• Single-Component Focus: Each deficiency is confined to one component, ignoring its potential impact on others.

• Oversimplification: Real-world interactions often exhibit multiple deficiencies across various components simultaneously.

• Lack of Holistic Perspective: The interconnected nature of DIKWP components means deficiencies can propagate and influence multiple areas.

To achieve semantic completeness, the 3-No Problems must be mapped across all relevant DIKWP components. This involves recognizing that each problem can manifest in any or all components depending on the interaction context.

Revised Mapping Framework:

Key Points:

• Interconnectedness: Deficiencies in one component can influence others.

• Context-Dependent Impact: The manifestation of each No Problem varies based on the interaction context and the specific DIKWP components involved.

• Dynamic Influence: Problems can evolve, affecting different components at different stages of interaction.

To ensure semantic completeness, we analyze how each No Problem impacts every DIKWP component.

Definition: The absence of necessary elements within any DIKWP component that prevents full comprehension or effective action.

Impact Across Components:

Definition: The presence of conflicting elements within or across DIKWP components that lead to confusion and misalignment.

Impact Across Components:

Definition: The presence of vague or ambiguous elements within any DIKWP component that reduce clarity and effectiveness.

Impact Across Components:

To ensure that the 3-No Problems comprehensively cover the DIKWP semantic space, we propose a Multi-Dimensional Mapping Framework. This framework systematically associates each No Problem with all relevant DIKWP components, ensuring holistic coverage and addressing the interconnected nature of cognitive deficiencies.

To operationalize this framework, the following steps can be undertaken:

1. Comprehensive Assessment:

• Identify Deficiencies: Conduct thorough assessments to detect instances of Incompleteness, Inconsistency, and Imprecision across all DIKWP components.

• Contextual Analysis: Understand the specific context in which these deficiencies arise to tailor remediation strategies effectively.

2. Quantitative Measurement:

• Incompleteness (C_X):CX=∣XA∩XB∣∣XA∪XB∣C_X = \frac{|\mathbf{X}_A \cap \mathbf{X}_B|}{|\mathbf{X}_A \cup \mathbf{X}_B|}CX​=∣XA​∪XB​∣∣XA​∩XB​∣​

• Inconsistency (S_X):SX=XA⋅XB∥XA∥∥XB∥S_X = \frac{\mathbf{X}_A \cdot \mathbf{X}_B}{\|\mathbf{X}_A\| \|\mathbf{X}_B\|}SX​=∥XA​∥∥XB​∥XA​⋅XB​​

• Imprecision (P_X):PX=1−HXHmaxP_X = 1 - \frac{H_X}{H_{\text{max}}}PX​=1−Hmax​HX​​

• Define Metrics: Establish mathematical metrics to quantify each No Problem within each DIKWP component.

• Calculate Deficiency Measures:GX=1−CXG_X = 1 - C_XGX​=1−CX​IX=1−SXI_X = 1 - S_XIX​=1−SX​MX=HXHmaxM_X = \frac{H_X}{H_{\text{max}}}MX​=Hmax​HX​​

3. Integrated Remediation:

• Address Deficiencies Holistically: Develop remediation strategies that consider the interconnected impact of each No Problem across all DIKWP components.

• Implement Solutions: Apply targeted interventions to fill data gaps, reconcile inconsistencies, and clarify imprecisions.

4. Continuous Monitoring:

• Feedback Loops: Establish mechanisms for ongoing monitoring and adjustment to ensure sustained semantic completeness.

• Iterative Refinement: Continuously refine remediation strategies based on feedback and evolving interaction dynamics.

To comprehensively address the 3-No Problems across the DIKWP semantic space, remediation strategies must be integrative and multifaceted. Below are tailored strategies for each No Problem, considering their impact on all DIKWP components.
