Not a property of a thing but a consequence of where it lies. Three ways: within one circle; mirrored, that is additionally readable in a further circle or by a single person, changed only at its origin; published, readable without identity or membership. Whoever shares a thing should see beforehand whom it reaches.
The smallest unit of the network. Known not by a directory entry but by those who know them. Identity belongs to the person.
A social connection between people, or between people and agents. Arises from encounter, communication, collaboration or shared experience.
Two people meet, in person or digitally, exchange who they are, and stay connected if it fits. Encounters repeat and are the normal case of the network: a person becomes part of it the moment they enter a relationship.
Two people's confirmation that they have met each other as this person, at an encounter and optionally verified digitally. Does not mean general trustworthiness, only that an encounter or identity relationship has been confirmed.
Honouring what a person did or contributed. Recognition, not approval. The person witnessed decides about display, not about the statement.
Responsibility a person takes on toward a circle. A promise that something happens. Voluntary, returnable, not a rank.
