Mike,

Until now I deliberately left out the 'all elements are knowledge objects' statement "out of the equation". I tried to find a logical argument against the claim that all knowledge can be represented by a Traid. (I have not been able to find one so far)

At this basic conceptual structure, even Reilly Atkinson recognizes the validity of the UTK, at least that's how I interpret his posting {Re: UTK - The later postings - Reilly Atkinson 23:53:13 9/23/99 (5) } "By its basic conceptual structure, causality involves an initial state, a change mechanism, and a final state. How yours differs from the conventional description of causal change is still beyond me. Are not you just using a standard ordinary language construction? It may well be that bringing causal reasoning to new areas of policy work, or managerial analysis, or .. is new and valuable. But your mode of description, to me at least, is not particularly new nor original."

So, the basic LOGICAL structure of the UTK is (most likely) to be valid.

This is not enough, The BIG question now: Is the UTK also feasible in its applications? That's the next step.

Knowledge representation is one thing, knowledge creating by Triad deconstruction is another.

This should not only be possible at a logical level, we need concrete, specific and applicable Triadic deconstruction mechanisms.

Since I am more familiar with industrial analysis, rather then quantum mechanics, I for one am looking forward to your postings on the Five Forces.
