For $S$ a set, let $\beta_{\bf2}(S)$ be a compact, totally disconnected space containing $S$ where $S$ in the subspace topology is discrete and $S$ is a dense subspace, and $\beta_{\bf2}(S)$ has the property that, for any compact, totally disconnected space $U$ and any function $f:S\to U$, there is a continuous map from $\beta_{\bf2}(S)$ to $U$ extending $f$. Consider $\beta_{\bf2}(S)$ where $S=T\times\{0,1\}$ for some set $T$. I imagine it is a disjoint union of two spaces homeomorphic to $\beta_{\bf2}(T)$ where each space is a clopen subset of the whole. If so, let us call the entire space $\beta_{\bf2}(T)\times\{0,1\}$, with the obvious meaning. Let $U$ be a compact, totally disconnected space. Let $f:T\times\{0,1\}\to U$ be a function such that, for all $t\in T$, $f(t,0)\ne f(t,1)$. I assume $f$ extends to a continuous map from $\beta_{\bf2}(T)\times\{0,1\}$ to $U$. Can we say that for all $b\in\beta_{\bf2}(T)\times\{0,1\}$, $f(b,0)\ne f(b,1)$?
