Introduction
The 12 philoshophical problems by Prof. Yucong Duan are central to contemporary thought, touching on metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and the philosophy of mind, among other areas. To explore these problems through the lens of the mathematical DIKWP (Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom-Purpose) model defined by Prof. Yucong Duan, we will delve into each issue with a detailed introduction followed by a mathematical mapping within the DIKWP framework.
The DIKWP model extends the traditional Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) hierarchy by adding Purpose, emphasizing goal-oriented cognitive processes. It operates across three interconnected spaces: Conceptual Space, Cognitive Space, and Semantic Space, providing a structured approach to understanding complex cognitive phenomena.
In this analysis, we'll examine how each philosophical problem can be understood and analyzed using the DIKWP model, highlighting the transformation from raw data to purposeful wisdom, guided by specific goals or purposes.
1. The Mind-Body Problem
Introduction
The mind-body problem is a fundamental question in philosophy: How do mental states, such as beliefs, desires, and sensations, relate to physical states of the body and brain? It explores whether the mind and body are distinct substances (dualism) or whether mental states are entirely physical (physicalism). This issue has significant implications for our understanding of consciousness, personal identity, and the nature of reality.
Application of the DIKWP Model
Data (D): Empirical observations of brain activity (e.g., neural firing patterns) and reports of subjective experiences (e.g., pain, emotions).
Mathematical Representation:D={d1,d2,...,dn}D = \{d_1, d_2, ..., d_n\}D={d1,d2,...,dn}Each did_idi represents a specific data point, such as a neural measurement or subjective report.
Information (I): Correlations identified between brain states and mental states.
Transformation Function:I=TDI(D)I = T_{DI}(D)I=TDI(D)Where TDIT_{DI}TDI is the function transforming data into information by identifying patterns.
Resulting Information Set:I={i1,i2,...,im}I = \{i_1, i_2, ..., i_m\}I={i1,i2,...,im}Each iji_jij represents a specific correlation or pattern.

3. Free Will vs. Determinism
Introduction
The debate over free will versus determinism questions whether human beings have genuine freedom to make choices or if our actions are predetermined by prior states of the universe. Determinism suggests that every event is necessitated by antecedent events and conditions, together with the laws of nature. Free will implies that individuals can initiate actions independently of such causal chains.
Application of the DIKWP Model
