The integration of the DIKWP model—Data (D), Information (I), Knowledge (K), Wisdom (W), Purpose (P)—with the TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) principles creates a powerful framework for systematic innovation and problem-solving. By mapping conceptual content to DIKWP semantics within a networked transformation space, we can explore all possible interactions among DIKWP elements, including non-linear transformations like K→D and I→D.

Furthermore, incorporating the 3-No Problem framework proposed by Prof. Yucong Duan, which addresses the incomplete, inconsistent, and imprecise nature of inputs and outputs, multiplies the potential innovation modes. This combination provides a unique approach for developing Artificial Consciousness solutions with transparent working mechanisms, reducing uncertainties in current Large Language Model (LLM) systems.

This report explores the potential of DIKWP-TRIZ in this context, highlighting patent opportunities and the path toward creating more reliable and explainable AI systems.

The traditional DIKWP model is often viewed hierarchically—data leads to information, which leads to knowledge, and so on. However, in a networked model, transformations can occur bidirectionally between any two elements:

• Data ↔ Information (D ↔ I)

• Information ↔ Knowledge (I ↔ K)

• Knowledge ↔ Data (K ↔ D)

• Wisdom ↔ Information (W ↔ I)

• Purpose ↔ Knowledge (P ↔ K)

• ...and so on for all combinations.

This 5×5 matrix of DIKWP elements results in 25 modes of interaction:

This networked approach acknowledges the complexity of cognitive processes and the reality that knowledge can generate new data, wisdom can influence information, and purpose can reshape knowledge.

The TRIZ principles provide inventive strategies to solve problems systematically. By applying these principles to each DIKWP transformation mode, we can explore innovative solutions for complex interactions.

For example:

• Knowledge ↔ Data (K ↔ D):

• Use existing knowledge to prevent irrelevant data collection.

• Adjust data collection parameters based on knowledge needs.

• Principle 35: Parameter Changes

• Principle 9: Preliminary Anti-Action

• Wisdom ↔ Information (W ↔ I):

• Wisely determine the extent of information processing to avoid overload.

• Use outcomes of information processing to refine wisdom.

• Principle 23: Feedback

• Principle 16: Partial or Excessive Actions

By systematically mapping TRIZ principles to each transformation, we create a comprehensive framework for innovation within the DIKWP × DIKWP space.

Prof. Yucong Duan's 3-No Problem addresses the challenges of:

• Incomplete Input/Output

• Inconsistent Input/Output

• Imprecise Input/Output

In real-world scenarios, data and information are often incomplete, inconsistent, or imprecise, leading to problems in processing and decision-making. The 3-No Problem framework emphasizes the need for solutions that can handle these imperfections.

By integrating the 3-No Problem with the 25 DIKWP transformation modes, we multiply the potential problem spaces:

• 25 Transformation Modes × 3 Deficiencies = 75 Unique Problem Scenarios

For instance:

• Incomplete Data ↔ Knowledge (D ↔ K):

• Developing methods to fill knowledge gaps when data is incomplete.

• Inconsistent Wisdom ↔ Purpose (W ↔ P):

• Resolving conflicts between organizational wisdom and shifting purposes.

• Imprecise Information ↔ Data (I ↔ D):

• Refining data collection methods to reduce imprecision in information.

This expanded framework allows for a more nuanced approach to problem-solving, accommodating the imperfections inherent in cognitive processes.

The combination of networked DIKWP transformations and the 3-No Problem creates a vast landscape for innovation and patentable solutions. Each unique interaction, especially when considering the deficiencies addressed by the 3-No Problem, represents an opportunity to develop novel methods, systems, or technologies.

Examples of Patent Opportunities:

• Adaptive Data Collection Systems:

• Transformation: Knowledge → Data (K → D)

• Problem: Incomplete or imprecise data.

• Solution: Systems that adapt data collection parameters in real-time based on existing knowledge to fill gaps and enhance precision.

• Conflict Resolution Frameworks:

• Transformation: Wisdom ↔ Purpose (W ↔ P)

• Problem: Inconsistent organizational goals.

• Solution: Algorithms that align wisdom (best practices, ethical considerations) with changing purposes through dynamic adjustment strategies.

• Intelligent Information Filters:

• Transformation: Information → Data (I → D)

• Problem: Overload of imprecise data.

• Solution: AI-driven filters that refine data inputs based on the relevancy determined from information analysis.

By systematically exploring each transformation mode and associated deficiencies, innovators can identify unmet needs and create solutions that are eligible for patent protection.

Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 are powerful tools for processing natural language but face challenges:

• Uncertainty in Outputs: Due to the probabilistic nature of language models, outputs may be unpredictable.

• Lack of Transparency: It's often unclear how inputs are transformed into outputs.

• Semantic Ambiguities: Models may misinterpret or misrepresent concepts due to the nuances of natural language.

By leveraging the DIKWP-TRIZ framework:

• Structured Transformation Processes:

• Define clear pathways for how data becomes information, knowledge, wisdom, and aligns with purpose.

• Ensure that each transformation is governed by specific principles, reducing randomness.

• Semantic to Conceptual Mapping:

• Use mathematically defined mappings to translate semantic content into conceptual representations.

• Avoid blind exploration by systematically applying TRIZ principles to guide transformations.

• Handling the 3-No Problem:

• Incorporate mechanisms to detect and address incomplete, inconsistent, and imprecise inputs and outputs.

• Enhance the reliability and accuracy of the AI system.

Benefits:

• Reduced Uncertainty: Transparent processes enable predictability in outputs.

• Enhanced Explainability: Clear mechanisms allow users to understand how conclusions are reached.

• Improved Trustworthiness: Systems that can justify their outputs are more likely to be trusted by users.

Towards Artificial Consciousness:

• By emulating cognitive processes through DIKWP transformations, AI systems can exhibit characteristics akin to consciousness, such as self-awareness of their processing mechanisms and purposeful action.

• Holistic Problem-Solving: Addresses the full spectrum of cognitive transformations, not limited to linear or hierarchical models.

• Flexibility and Adaptability: The networked model accommodates non-traditional pathways (e.g., K→D), reflecting real-world complexities.

• Systematic Innovation: Integrating TRIZ principles provides a structured approach to generate inventive solutions.

• Transparency and Explainability: DIKWP processing makes AI decision-making processes more transparent, crucial for trust and accountability.

• Handling Imperfections: By incorporating the 3-No Problem, the framework is equipped to manage real-world data deficiencies effectively.

• Patent Potential: The vast combination of transformation modes and problem scenarios opens up numerous avenues for intellectual property development.

Exploring the potential of DIKWP-TRIZ within a networked transformation space, and integrating it with the 3-No Problem, offers a powerful framework for innovation. This approach not only enhances problem-solving capabilities but also paves the way for developing Artificial Consciousness solutions that are transparent and reliable.

By systematically addressing uncertainties and imperfections, and moving away from blind exploration of semantic spaces, DIKWP-TRIZ provides a pathway to reduce the uncertainty inherent in current AI systems. This can lead to more robust, explainable, and trustworthy AI technologies that better mimic human cognitive processes.
