Introduction
To enhance understanding and facilitate comparisons among the philosophical problems within the DIKWP (Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom-Purpose) framework, we will expand our previous analysis by providing detailed tables. These tables will systematically present the mappings and transformations for each problem, allowing for clear visualization of similarities and differences.
The tables will include:
Individual Problem Tables: For each philosophical problem, we will present a table detailing the DIKWP mappings, including mathematical representations and key points at each stage.
Comparative Tables: We will create tables comparing the problems within each category and across categories, highlighting commonalities and distinctions in their DIKWP mappings.
This structured approach aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these philosophical issues can be analyzed and compared using the DIKWP model.

Due to space constraints, I'll provide a summarized version for the remaining problems, but in a full-length document, each problem would have a detailed table similar to the ones above.

II. Comparative TablesTo facilitate understanding, we'll now present comparative tables that highlight the similarities and differences among the philosophical problems within each category and across categories.

Key Insights from the Tables:
Transformation Functions are Universal but Differ in Focus:
While the transformation functions TDI,TIK,TKW,T_{DI}, T_{IK}, T_{KW},TDI,TIK,TKW, and TWPT_{WP}TWP are consistent across all problems, the content and focus at each stage differ based on the nature of the problem.
Data Sources Vary Significantly:
Metaphysical and existential problems rely heavily on subjective experiences and perceptions.
Epistemological problems focus on data that highlight uncertainties.
Ethical problems are grounded in observations of behaviors and societal practices.
Complexity Levels Differ:
Metaphysical and epistemological problems often involve higher complexity due to the abstract nature of the issues and the challenges in bridging gaps.
Ethical and existential problems, while complex, often involve more direct applications to human experiences and societal norms.
Role of Wisdom and Purpose is Central:
Wisdom and purpose guide the application of knowledge to achieve desired outcomes.
The emphasis on ethical considerations is prominent in ethical and moral problems.
In existential problems, wisdom focuses on personal fulfillment and understanding.
Interconnectedness of Problems:
Many problems overlap in their stages, especially at the knowledge and wisdom levels.
For example, the hard problem of consciousness shares aspects with the mind-body problem but delves deeper into the explanatory gap.
Implications of the Analysis:
Versatility of the DIKWP Model: The model effectively structures a wide range of philosophical problems, demonstrating its robustness and applicability.
Facilitation of Comparative Philosophy: By mapping problems within the same framework, we can more easily compare and contrast them, leading to deeper insights.
Educational Utility: The detailed tables serve as a valuable tool for teaching and understanding complex philosophical concepts.
The expanded comparison using detailed tables provides a comprehensive and systematic understanding of how various philosophical problems can be analyzed within the DIKWP framework. By presenting the mappings and transformations for each problem, we highlight the similarities and differences in their cognitive processes.
This approach not only aids in grasping the essence of each problem but also illustrates the interconnectedness of different areas of philosophy. The tables serve as a visual and analytical aid, making complex concepts more accessible.

We reiterate our gratitude to Prof. Yucong Duan for the DIKWP model, which has enabled this detailed comparative analysis. The model's structure has proven invaluable in dissecting and understanding complex philosophical issues.
Note to Readers
While this document provides a comprehensive overview, further exploration of each problem's nuances within the DIKWP model is encouraged. The tables can be expanded with more granular details, especially in academic or research settings, to deepen the analysis.
