Wang Desheng is a mathematician, philosopher, and interdisciplinary theorist whose work spans mathematical ontology, artificial intelligence, education, health, and the theory of civilization. He is known for developing the SIO tri-state ontology and the SDE framework-Structure, Difference, and Entanglement-which together form the foundation of his broader effort to rethink knowledge, existence, and creation as dynamically generated processes rather than static, isolated entities. Trained in mathematics and long engaged in philosophical innovation, Wang's research moves across the boundaries that usually separate pure theory, scientific modeling, and practical application. From 2005 to 2018, he served as a doctoral advisor at Nanyang Technological University, and over the years he has continued to pursue a distinctive line of inquiry: how new ontological frameworks can open new paths in mathematics, science, education, economics, and medicine. His writing consistently seeks not merely to interpret existing systems, but to construct new conceptual tools capable of guiding future intellectual and technological development. At the center of Wang's work is the conviction that the age of complexity and AI demands a new foundational language. Rather than accepting traditional divisions between subject and object, structure and process, mathematics and life, he proposes frameworks in which interaction, emergence, and transformation become primary. This orientation has led him to formulate a wide-ranging body of thought that includes SIO ontology, SDE theory, tri-state civilization theory, and new approaches to reading, innovation, and intelligent systems.
In SDE Mathematics: An Introduction, Wang extends this long-term philosophical and mathematical project into the domain of computational mathematics and mathematical foundations. The book represents a major step in his attempt to reinterpret classical mathematics as a special case within a broader generative framework and to establish new concepts for understanding complexity, nonlocality, intelligent computation, and the future of mathematical science. Wang Desheng's work is marked by bold originality, structural ambition, and a persistent drive to build new intellectual foundations for the emerging age of AI and deep complexity.
