Architecture
A Trail is human-readable and machine-readable.
The technical task is not to build a global points score. It is to create an open protocol for contextual, signed signals of usefulness.
Trail-Event
A Trail-Event describes a received contribution: issuer, recipient, context, impact, relevant dependencies, visibility, signature, and possible corrections.
It is a review, but not as a platform star. It is structured gratitude with economic connectivity.
Trail Graph
Many Trail-Events form a graph of people, agents, organizations, resources, projects, and confirmed effects.
Scoring must not be global and one-dimensional. Relevance, recency, independence, context, and privacy matter more than volume.
Lifeline Agent, Trust Router, Adapter
The Lifeline Agent helps with provision, need, matching, and privacy. The Trust Router stakes its own Trail on a connection. The Adapter keeps the boundary to the money-world transparent.
