Diagramming trust - another take
>

After another long talk with Dave Ellis, I am again inspired to try to  
express some ideas, and this time I come with definitions and diagrams.

Goal: a desired set of real world effects

Goal may be that the real world effects are realized, avoided, or some  
combination.

Constraint: a specified set of real world effects that an actor is
   (1) limited from pursuing or being responsible for indirectly  
causing, or
   (2) responsible for pursuing

Ownership Boundary: the extent of an identifiable set of actors  
sharing a common set of goals and constraints, and other common  
entities through which the goals and constraints can be expressed.

A given actor may reside within one or more ownership boundaries.   
There may be agreed upon protocols for interactions that cross  
ownership boundaries or an actor crossing an ownership boundary may  
independently need to resolve any mismatches.

Reputation: a property of a given actor assigned by other actors based  
on the accumulated experience experience of the other actors on the  
extent to which real world effects resulting from interaction with the  
given actor are assessed as desirable, neutral, or undesirable.

Other definitions are needed but I was concentrating on the diagrams  
that follow.
