The topology of the graph in effect induces some distance/similarity
measure in n-dimensional space of tuples, which in turn determines how
learning works. This implies that there cannot be any universal structure,
because for any distance we could construct a problem, for which the least
distance learning will not work. Now, if the structure is to define the
distance, then that is not universal. If the distance is determined by
something else, then the structure is not *all* knowledge.
Hence there cannot be such universal thing. There could only be ones,
suitable for some class of problems. So the question is, which class of
problems is equivalent to/required by "cognition". So far, nobody knows
this.
