A Novel Neutrosophic Framework for Digital Inheritance and Innovation of Traditional Handicraft Tourism Products Based on Symbolic Integrity and Forgery Detection

Abstract

Traditional handicraft tourism products are important cultural assets that 
represent history, identity, and creativity. As these products move into the digital world 
through 3D modeling, online markets, or AI-based design their original meaning and 
cultural value can be lost or distorted. There is a growing need for systems that preserve 
authenticity while allowing creative innovation. 
This paper introduces a new neutrosophic framework designed to support the digital 
inheritance and creative development of traditional handicraft tourism products. Using 
advanced neutrosophic structure theory, we propose three original mathematical tools: 
1. NeutroSemiotic Integrity Metric (NSIM)  to measure how much cultural 
symbolism is preserved or lost during digitization, 
2. Neutrosophic Forgery Detection Function (NFDF) to detect products that are 
falsely labeled as traditional, 
3. Neutrosophic Rarity Index for Craft Tourism (NRIC-T) to rank digital versions of 
handicrafts based on their uniqueness and value. 
These tools use neutrosophic logic to model uncertainty, contradiction, and cultural 
sensitivity. We apply the framework to a real case study involving embroidered textile 
designs. The results show that our system provides better insight, protection, and 
innovation support than traditional evaluation methods.
