Desheng Wang, PhD, is a mathematician and philosopher whose work bridges computational science, artificial intelligence, education, and civilizational theory. He is best known for proposing a "Copernican shift" from subject-object dualism to a co-generative framework articulated as SIO Ontology (Subject-Interaction-Object Ontology), together with a rigorous program on value and meaning dynamics. In Wang's view, reality is not built from isolated subjects or objects, but from integral SIO wholes that emerge, stabilize, and transform through interaction. Wang's academic formation is rooted in advanced mathematical training and long-term research in computational mathematics and complex systems. He studied mathematics at Xiangtan University (BSc, 1990-1994; MSc, 1994-1997), pursued doctoral studies at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (1997-2001), and completed postdoctoral research in computational mathematics (2001-2003). He later held research appointments in the United Kingdom (2003-2005) and subsequently worked for more than a decade at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore as a senior research scientist and doctoral supervisor, publishing widely on numerical methods, mesh generation, and geometry processing. A defining feature of Wang's trajectory is the integration of scientific formalism with philosophical generativity. He diagnoses a modern split: science can achieve impeccable form yet drift toward "meaning anemia," while philosophy may preserve depth of experience yet lack operational structure.

This tension motivated his reconstruction project and led to his Three-Law research program, which models generativity as an interacting system of Creation Law, Freedom Law, and Happiness Law. In this framework, creation describes how new structures emerge, freedom describes how possibilities become viable paths, and happiness describes how tension is transformed into sustainable motivation through release and stabilization. The Three Laws provide a practical methodology that links ontology to value (truth-goodness-beauty) and meaning (creation-freedom-happiness). In recent years, Wang has extended SIO and the Three-Law framework beyond metaphysics into applied domains including education innovation, health and psychology, organizational design, economics, governance, and human-AI collaboration. He argues that philosophy should function not merely as interpretation, but as a constructive engine for building structure, legitimacy, and sustainable meaning in civilization.
