Hi Mike,

guess who :-)? Perhaps not really a test, but perhaps an interesting quesion anyway?

CORE QUESTION:
Is there a way to use the UTK in reverse? E.g. can you reconstruct the original issue/problem/knowledge from its Tryad in a way that can be repeated by people, unfamiliar with the original problem...

CONTEXT:
I believe that in a way this question is fundamental to my scepsis as I can design a model allowing me to deconstruct ANY issue/proble/knowledge into YES/NO questions (in fact this is the way extremely easy AI application work).
I can now claim to have a UTK (all knowledge can be decomposed into Yes/No questions).
However, I can never reconstruct the original problem, issue by only looking at the answers.

SUBQUESTION / PERSONAL PERCEPTION:
I suppose the UTK has the same property. Somehow I see this as a problem/issue for the practical value of the UTK. Is it?
