1. Overview

The DIKWP Semantic Mathematics framework provides a structured, mathematical approach to processing and transforming content across its five components:

• Data (D): Raw, unprocessed input.

• Information (I): Processed and contextualized Data.

• Knowledge (K): Structured and interconnected understanding derived from Information.

• Wisdom (W): Application of Knowledge in decision-making, incorporating ethical considerations.

• Purpose (P): Overarching goals guiding all transformations and decisions.

Each traditional medical system can be analyzed through this lens to understand how it processes health-related data into actionable wisdom aligned with its core purpose.

Traditional Medical Systems:

• TCM:

• Equivalence Relation (~): Two data points (e.g., pulse readings) are equivalent if they indicate the same Qi imbalance.

• Data Concepts: Categories like "Wind-Heat," "Cold-Damp," based on shared symptoms and diagnostic indicators.

• Ayurveda:

• Equivalence Relation (~): Two data points are equivalent if they represent the same Dosha imbalance.

• Data Concepts: Categories such as "Vata Imbalance," "Pitta Imbalance," "Kapha Imbalance."

5. Mathematical Structures and Transformations5.1 Data Categorization and Equivalence Relations

• Equivalence Relation (~): Groups data into equivalence classes based on shared semantic attributes.

• Data Concept Set (D/~): Represents unique categories derived from equivalence classes.

Formal Definition:d1∼d2  ⟺  ∀f∈S, f(d1)=f(d2)d_1 \sim d_2 \iff \forall f \in S, \ f(d_1) = f(d_2)d1​∼d2​⟺∀f∈S, f(d1​)=f(d2​)Where S={f1,f2,…,fn}S = \{f_1, f_2, \ldots, f_n\}S={f1​,f2​,…,fn​} are semantic attribute functions.

Example in TCM:

5.2 Information as a Metric Space

• Metric Space (I): $(D/,\delta )$ where $\delta$ is a distance metric quantifying differences between data categories.

Properties:

• Non-Negativity: δ([di],[dj])≥0\delta([d_i], [d_j]) \geq 0δ([di​],[dj​])≥0

• Identity of Indiscernibles: δ([di],[dj])=0  ⟺  [di]=[dj]\delta([d_i], [d_j]) = 0 \iff [d_i] = [d_j]δ([di​],[dj​])=0⟺[di​]=[dj​]

• Symmetry: δ([di],[dj])=δ([dj],[di])\delta([d_i], [d_j]) = \delta([d_j], [d_i])δ([di​],[dj​])=δ([dj​],[di​])

• Triangle Inequality: δ([di],[dk])≤δ([di],[dj])+δ([dj],[dk])\delta([d_i], [d_k]) \leq \delta([d_i], [d_j]) + \delta([d_j], [d_k])δ([di​],[dk​])≤δ([di​],[dj​])+δ([dj​],[dk​])
