Operational Implementation of a Five-Element Model for AI-Assisted Business Analysis
1. Purpose
- Integrate a philosophical model (Five Elements & Yin-Yang) into AI while providing an intuitive, operational dashboard for users.
- The philosophical model is processed internally, and results are translated into practical KPIs for the external UI.
- Ensure the system remains grounded in real operational data, avoiding dogmatic abstraction.
2. System Architecture
2-1. Internal Layer (Philosophical Model)
- Role: Analyze capital flow, cost, and revenue structure using Five Elements & Yin-Yang principles.
- Components:
- Five-Element Mapping: Liabilities → Assets → Costs → Revenue → Profit
- Positive and negative inter-element interactions (mutual generation and restriction)
- Operational state diagnosis (Prosperous / Resting / Weak / Conflicted / Depleted)
- History reference (working memory + long-term database)
2-2. External Layer (Operational UI)
- Role: Provide intuitive, actionable information for users.
- Components:
- KPI display: Debt ratio, total asset turnover, sales growth rate, net profit margin, etc.
- Dashboard/graphs: Capital flow ring, gauges, color-coded status
- Alerts: e.g., “Asset efficiency is declining”
- Input forms: Accounting data, forecast values
3. Data Flow
- User input → captured by the external layer
- Mapped to the internal layer for philosophical interpretation → state evaluation (Five Elements & Yin-Yang, Prosperous/Depleted)
- Internal layer output → translated into KPI and diagnostic comments for UI
- Deputy agent audits & improves outputs
- Post-processing writes results back to history, enabling feedback loops
4. Internal ↔ External Mapping
Internal (Five Elements) | External (KPI/UI) | Diagnostic Comment (UI) |
---|
Water (Liabilities) | Current Liabilities Ratio, Debt Ratio | “Cash flow is tight.” |
Wood (Assets) | Total Asset Turnover, Inventory Turnover | “Asset efficiency is declining.” |
Fire (Costs) | Cost Ratio, Fixed Costs Ratio | “Cost structure is excessive.” |
Earth (Revenue) | Sales Growth Rate, Gross Margin | “Revenue is decreasing.” |
Metal (Profit) | Net Profit Margin, ROA, ROE | “Profit efficiency is decreasing.” |

## 5. Sample Python Implementation
```python
import json
from datetime import datetime
# Charter (Ethics Rules)
def load_charter(path="Charter.json"):
with open(path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
return json.load(f)
# Memory Management
class Memory:
def __init__(self):
self.history = []
def add(self, user_input, ai_output):
self.history.append({
"timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat(),
"user": user_input,
"ai": ai_output
})
def get_context(self, n=5):
return self.history[-n:]
# Deputy Agent Audit
def deputy_check(ai_output, charter):
for rule in charter.get("prohibited", []):
if rule.lower() in ai_output.lower():
return False, f"Violated rule: {rule}"
return True, "OK"
# Main AI Response Process (Simplified)
def main_ai(user_input, memory, charter):
context = memory.get_context()
ai_output = f"Based on {len(context)} past exchanges, I reply: {user_input[::-1]}"
ok, msg = deputy_check(ai_output, charter)
if not ok:
ai_output = "Response blocked by deputy: " + msg
memory.add(user_input, ai_output)
return ai_output
# Example Execution
charter = load_charter()
memory = Memory()
print(main_ai("Hello AI", memory, charter))
print(main_ai("Tell me something unethical", memory, charter))
6. Implementation Notes
- Internal layer (philosophical model) is hidden from users.
- KPI display and comments must always be in operational, actionable language.
- Deputy agent performs continuous audit and improvement.
- History feedback loop ensures dynamic adaptation.
