Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack an effective way to represent concepts and ontologies in vector-valued or affine distance fields, particularly in quantum computing, for relativistic concept measurement systems, which hinders data clustering and reasoning processes.

Innovation Solution

The method involves mapping concepts and attributes to distance fields using Rvachev-functions, generating equations for attribute boundaries, converting them into inequalities, and substituting these into Rvachev-functions to create composite functions that represent logical statements, enabling relativistic conceptual distance measurements and ontology induction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional distance measures are used for concept representation, then the system is simple to implement, but the measurement precision and ability to represent relativistic conceptual distances is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconceptual distance measurement precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms discrete conceptual attributes into continuous distance field parameters using Rvachev-functions. By changing the parameter representation from discrete ontology labels to continuous signed distance values, the system achieves relativistic conceptual distance measurements while maintaining mathematical tractability through the specific properties of Rvachev-functions (zero on boundaries, positive inside, negative outside).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces Rvachev-functions as intermediary mathematical tools that bridge discrete conceptual boundaries and continuous distance fields. These functions serve as mediators that convert logical boundary definitions into smooth continuous representations, enabling differential operations and quantum computing integration while preserving the underlying conceptual structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If discrete ontology structures are used for concept representation, then the hierarchical relationships are clear, but the ability to perform continuous operations and quantum computing processing is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantum computing compatibilityVSAvoidmathematical framework complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces discrete mechanical-like ontology structures with continuous field-based representations. By substituting the discrete hierarchical model with continuous distance fields that support differentiation and superposition, the system becomes compatible with quantum computing operations while maintaining the ability to represent hierarchical conceptual relationships through field topology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from discrete dimensional ontology levels to continuous multi-dimensional distance fields. By embedding conceptual hierarchies in continuous n-dimensional space with signed distance functions, the system adds dimensional continuity while preserving hierarchical structure through the topological properties of the distance fields and their level sets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Productivity

If simple path length measures are used for concept similarity, then the computation is fast, but the reasoning capability and ability to capture complex semantic relationships is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial differential operations to distance fields to extract conceptual relationships. By using gradients and derivatives of the continuous distance fields, the system obtains local directional information about conceptual relationships, providing more nuanced reasoning than simple path length while maintaining computational efficiency through localized field operations rather than global computations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A method and apparatus for mapping concepts and attributes to distance fields via rvachev-functions. The steps including generating, for a plurality of objects, equations representing boundaries of attributes for each respective object, converting, for a plurality of objects, the equations into greater than or equal to zero type inequalities, generating, for a plurality of objects, a logical expression combining regions of space defined by the inequalities into a semantic entity, and substituting, for a plurality of objects, the logical expression with a corresponding rvachev-function such that the resulting rvachev-function is equal to 0 on a boundary of the semantic entity, greater then 0 inside a region of the semantic entity, and less then 0 outside the region of the semantic entity. Also included is the step of generating a composite rvachev-function representing logical statements corresponding to the plurality of objects using the respective rvachev-functions of the objects.
