We will provide a detailed, comprehensive explanation of the renewed operations on the DIKWP model based on the modified framework and the integration of the four spaces—Conceptual Space (ConC), Cognitive Space (ConN), Semantic Space (SemA), and Conscious Space—and their interactions and transformations. This expanded explanation will delve deeply into each aspect, incorporating the foundational principles, formal definitions, examples, and implications, as per your request.
IntroductionBackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) aims to create machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving. Traditional mathematics has provided formal foundations for AI development. However, Prof. Yucong Duan identifies a fundamental paradox in traditional mathematics concerning AI semantics:
Paradox of Mathematics in AI Semantics: Traditional mathematics abstracts away real-world semantics to create generalizable models, yet AI requires these very semantics to achieve genuine understanding. This detachment hinders AI from truly comprehending and interacting with the world as humans do.
To resolve this paradox, Prof. Duan proposes a modified Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom-Purpose (DIKWP) Semantic Mathematics framework, emphasizing the intrinsic integration of semantics into mathematical constructs, mirroring human cognitive development.
ObjectiveThe objective is to renew the operations on the DIKWP model by integrating it with the four spaces—Conceptual Space (ConC), Cognitive Space (ConN), Semantic Space (SemA), and Conscious Space—to address the paradox and enhance AI's capability to process and represent semantics meaningfully.
1. Fundamental Semantics and the Four Spaces1.1 Fundamental Semantics in the Modified DIKWP FrameworkThe modified DIKWP framework is built upon three fundamental semantics, reflecting basic human cognitive processes:
Sameness (Data): Recognition of shared attributes or identities between entities.
Difference (Information): Identification of distinctions or disparities between entities.
Completeness (Knowledge): Integration of all relevant attributes and relationships to form holistic concepts.
These fundamental semantics serve as the building blocks for higher-level cognitive constructs, such as Wisdom and Purpose.
1.2 Mapping Fundamental Semantics to the Four Spaces1.2.1 Conceptual Space (ConC)Definition: The space where concepts are defined, organized, and related.
Role: Houses definitions and structures of concepts derived from Data (Sameness) and Knowledge (Completeness).
Function: Organizes DIKWP components by categorizing and mapping them through conceptual relationships.
Definition: The dynamic processing environment where DIKWP components are transformed into understanding and actions through cognitive functions.
Role: Processes Information (Difference) by transforming inputs into understanding.
Function: Executes cognitive operations such as perception, attention, memory, reasoning, and decision-making.
Definition: The network of semantic associations between concepts.
Role: Maintains the meanings and relationships of concepts, reflecting the fundamental semantics of Data, Information, and Knowledge.
Function: Ensures semantic consistency and integrity across cognitive processes.
Definition: The layer where consciousness emerges from the interactions of cognition and semantics.
Role: Represents awareness and higher-order cognitive processes, including the application of Wisdom and Purpose.

By integrating the four spaces, we can renew the operations on the DIKWP model to enhance its semantic processing capabilities.
