I see the errors of complexity again.
If you live in a box world, you must look like a box even if you want to be and feel you are a circle.
The block chain architecture allows a more user centric platform moving forward and with less complexity.
I am not sure how you will unravel this and how you can take valuable components and apply them in a resourceful manner.
UMA I believe does not truly address the transformation of many to one to one to many data in a cultural transition.
Blockchain allows for this architecture to begin, and for that reason “I am Out”.

Where is the BLT sandwich? That really is the question.
Are there any parties you know of who are using UMA for some/any business purpose today (ie not for testing or because they "have to" for some reason) and who might be interested in this? If so, we'd have a reasonable starting basis to discuss potential business and legal arrangements that may be acceptable to the parties. Best of all, by starting with actual parties it is possible to check back with them later to test whether the ideas are or are not likely to be acceptable in practice... by arranging a demo, pilot or other explore and then asking them.
I want a BLT sandwich as much as anybody, but am unaware of any way to establish business and legal acceptability without knowing realistic information about the parties, their transactions and the context of their relationships with one another. If you don't have business and legal parties (as in parties who are in fact using or exploring business use of the system) then you really can only test a T sandwich and make educated guesses about the B and the L. So, your BLT sandwich is with parties who do or are actively considering using UMA for their regular business purposes and can be involved in some type of user testing or other feedback cycle.
The B comes first because it is the meat. If you only have T and even L and T, you should be asking: Where's the Beef?
