Matt,
You make a very good point. The equation of:

TK < > K < > EK can be interpreted a few different ways. One way of looking at is by focusing on K as the only thing that ever really exists. K (knowledge) in the present moment, or put another way, as present moment awareness, is comprised simultaneously of tacit and explicit knowledge. Which means that our present moment awareness is made up two impressions - what we're seeing outside, and what we're thinking inside.

Another way of looking at the equation is on a linear basis, that tacit k becomes explicit k and vice versa. Which touches on your point, that knowledge is the processing center, that K is the middle step required in order for anything explicit to be made tacit (and vice versa).

Both views are really the same, just depends on how you want to look at them.
