通过挖掘中医理论的科学内涵，发现中医证候内蕴点集拓扑结构。运用这一理论和方法，可以使证候高阶多维的非线性结构，降阶降维成为一阶一维线性结构，从而展现出证候复杂多变的全貌；可以开展证候的发生规律研究，呈现出证候动态演化过程中子集合的衍生规律，以及证候不同子集合主症与次症的变化规律，来阐释中医证候判定诊断标准的科学内涵；可以开展中医证候的结构表征研究，实现证候“数学结构—物理结构—生物结构”的3个层面客观量化表征；可以对中医辨证论治过程的结构进行研究，实现证候不同形式的理法方药精准对应；通过计算机仿真技术，可以建立中医证候治法与方药的仿真数据平台；运用临证数据，通过文献梳理对比，可以实现单一证候、复合证候及其证候群理法方药知识的创新；可以开展中医证候疗效评价研究，明确中医证候疗效评价在多层面多维度的指标体系，促进辨证论治水平的大幅度提高，为中医学理论的现代语言诠释提供新的概念。

Based on the theory of topological structure within the syndrome of tradition Chinese medicine (TCM), the high order multiple dimensions and nonlinear structure of syndrome can be cracked. And the panorama of complex and changeable syndrome can be showed. The dynamic evolving law of sub-sets of syndromes and the changing rule of the main signs and symptoms with the secondary signs and symptoms can be interpreted. Therefore, the evolving law of sub-sets of syndromes and the accurate corresponding law of prescriptions and medicines can be realized. And the scientific connotation of dynamic evolving rule of syndrome can be revealed. Studying on the occurrence regularity of syndrome, the structure characterization of TCM syndrome can be carried out. And the "mathematical structure-physical structure-biological structure" can be revealed. Along with the mass new specific forms of syndromes to be cracked, the simulation data platform of therapeutic methods with prescriptions and medicines of syndromes can be built through the simulation technology of computer. Using the clinical data, through the literature of carding and contrast, the scientific connotation of judgment and diagnostic standard of syndromes can be interpreted. The distracting law of syndromes of diseases can also be revealed through the clinical data of syndrome-groups. And the theoretical basis for the formulation of judgments and diagnostic standard of syndromes of diseases which conforming to the dynamic evolving law of syndromes can be provided. Evaluation on TCM efficacy can be carried, in order to make clear the curative effect evaluation index system of TCM syndrome in multiple dimensions and multiple levels for the promotion of the substantially improvement of syndrome differentiation level.
