Introduction

DIKWP Semantic Mathematics is a comprehensive mathematical framework designed to model and process the cognitive transformations between the five core components: Data (D), Information (I), Knowledge (K), Wisdom (W), and Purpose (P). This framework provides precise mathematical representations and operations that enable systematic handling of semantic content across different cognitive spaces, ensuring consistency and interoperability in artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive systems.

This detailed explanation includes examples at each step to illustrate how the framework applies in practice, covering potential stakeholders such as AI developers, cognitive scientists, knowledge engineers, AI ethicists, business decision-makers, educators, and researchers.

1. Core Components of DIKWP Semantic Mathematics

Each component of the DIKWP model is defined within the context of three cognitive spaces:

• Concept Space (ConC)

• Cognitive Space (ConN)

• Semantic Space (SemA)

We will detail each component, their definitions, mathematical representations, and provide detailed examples step by step.

1.1 Data (D) Conceptualization

Definition:

• In Concept Space (ConC): Data concepts represent specific facts or observations confirmed by their semantic correspondence in the cognitive entity's semantic space. Data concepts are recognized by sharing the same semantic attributes.

Mathematical Representation:

• Semantic Attribute Set:

  S={f1,f2,...,fn}S = \{f_1, f_2, ..., f_n\}S={f1​,f2​,...,fn​}

  Where fif_ifi​ represents a semantic feature of the data.

• Data Concept Set:

  $$D=\{d\mid d\text{ shares }S\}$$

  Each data element $d\in D$ is an instance that shares the semantic attribute set $S$.

Processing in Cognitive Space (ConN):

• Cognitive processes extract shared semantics to label data concepts, unifying them based on corresponding shared semantics.

Example: Medical Imaging Data Recognition

Potential Stakeholders: AI developers, medical professionals, knowledge engineers.

Scenario:

An AI system is designed to assist radiologists in diagnosing lung diseases from chest X-ray images.

Application of Data Conceptualization:

1. Observation:

• The AI system collects raw image data $d$ from various chest X-rays.

2. Semantic Attribute Identification:

• The system identifies shared semantic attributes $S$ among the images that indicate normal lungs, such as clear lung fields, normal heart size, and absence of abnormal shadows.

• Semantic attributes $S$:

  $$S=\{\text{clear lung fields},\text{normal heart size},\text{no abnormal opacities}\}$$

3. Data Concept Formation:

• Images sharing these attributes are grouped into the Data concept "normal chest X-rays" DnormalD_{\text{normal}}Dnormal​.

  Dnormal={d∣d shares S}D_{\text{normal}} = \{d \mid d \text{ shares } S\}Dnormal​={d∣d shares S}

• Similarly, images with attributes indicating abnormalities form other Data concepts, such as "pneumonia," "lung cancer," etc.

Implications for Stakeholders:

• AI Developers can design algorithms that effectively classify images based on shared semantic attributes.

• Medical Professionals benefit from accurate categorization of imaging data for diagnosis.

• Knowledge Engineers can build structured datasets for training and improving AI models.

1.2 Information (I) Conceptualization
