1. Introduction to the Four Spaces Model
Prof. Yucong Duan's Four Spaces Model is a pivotal component of his Networked DIKWP framework, which extends the traditional DIKW (Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom) hierarchy by incorporating Purpose (P) as an additional layer. This model leverages mathematical foundations such as set theory, graph theory, and functional mappings to create a multidimensional perspective on cognitive transformations within artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
The Four Spaces—Conceptual Space (ConC), Cognitive Space (ConN), Semantic Space (SemA), and Conscious Space (ConsciousS)—represent distinct cognitive domains that interact networkedly to facilitate the transformation and integration of DIKWP components. This structured approach aims to emulate human cognitive processes, ethical reasoning, and purposeful action within AI architectures.
The primary objectives of the Four Spaces Model include:
Cognitive Alignment: Mimicking human cognitive processes to enhance AI's understanding and reasoning capabilities.
Ethical Integration: Embedding ethical considerations within AI decision-making to ensure responsible and societally aligned outcomes.
Purpose-Driven Processing: Ensuring that AI actions are aligned with overarching goals and purposes, fostering meaningful and goal-oriented behaviors.
By delineating these four cognitive spaces and mapping intricate transformations across them, Prof. Duan provides a robust framework for developing AI systems that are not only intelligent but also ethically grounded and purpose-driven.
2. Detailed Exploration of Each Space2.1 Conceptual Space (ConC)
Definition:The Conceptual Space (ConC) is a directed graph that encapsulates cognitive representations of concepts, their attributes, and inter-concept relationships.
Mathematical Representation:
GraphConC=(VConC,EConC)\text{GraphConC} = (V_{\text{ConC}}, E_{\text{ConC}})GraphConC=(VConC,EConC)
Vertices (VConCV_{\text{ConC}}VConC):Each vertex v∈VConCv \in V_{\text{ConC}}v∈VConC represents a distinct concept.
Edges (EConCE_{\text{ConC}}EConC):Each edge e=(vi,vj)∈EConCe = (v_i, v_j) \in E_{\text{ConC}}e=(vi,vj)∈EConC signifies a directed relationship from concept viv_ivi to concept vjv_jvj.
Attributes and Relationships:
Attributes (A(v)A(v)A(v)):Each concept vvv possesses a set of attributes A(v)={a1(v),a2(v),…,an(v)}A(v) = \{ a_1(v), a_2(v), \dots, a_n(v) \}A(v)={a1(v),a2(v),…,an(v)}.
Relationships (R(vi,vj)R(v_i, v_j)R(vi,vj)):Represents the type of relationship between concepts viv_ivi and vjv_jvj, such as hierarchical ("is a type of"), associative ("related to"), or functional ("enables").
Operations:
Query:
QConC(VConC,EConC,q)→{v1,v2,…,vm}Q_{\text{ConC}}(V_{\text{ConC}}, E_{\text{ConC}}, q) \rightarrow \{ v_1, v_2, \dots, v_m \}QConC(VConC,EConC,q)→{v1,v2,…,vm}
Returns concepts satisfying the query qqq based on attributes or relationships.

4.5 Mathematical Formalization of the DIKWP Graphing System
The DIKWP Graphing System maps elements of the digital and cognitive worlds to five main components: Data Graph (DG), Information Graph (IG), Knowledge Graph (KG), Wisdom Graph (WG), and Purpose Graph (PG). Each graph is subdivided into three levels of mapping: semantic, conceptual, and instance levels. Thus, each graph g∈Gg \in Gg∈G is a triplet mapping:
g:S×C×I→gg: S \times C \times I \rightarrow gg:S×C×I→g
Where:
G={DG,IG,KG,WG,PG}G = \{ DG, IG, KG, WG, PG \}G={DG,IG,KG,WG,PG}
SSS = Semantic levels
CCC = Concepts
III = Instances
Function fff:
f:G×G→Gf: G \times G \rightarrow Gf:G×G→G
Represents the transformation function that maps the interaction between two graphs into another graph.
Example Transformation:
