different explanations

It is an experiment, after all. So, we use this blog to record our experiences, as well as our ideas about what it is.

For example, last friday I met up with Hannah and her partner and Robert after a poetry session. Hannah accepted my invitation to join our little collective, our trust which we might call the Hive Trust. Robert was interested but there was no way I could invite him in because I did not know him. If he sets up his own trust network, and if after a month we are happy with our one trusts, and if we have grown a relationship by then, then perhaps our trusts will conflate, like two drops of water that touch. This could happen all over the place, with millions of little trust collectives started between two people or three, they grow a little, and suddenly one little trust merges with another, and so on.

Might be useful to get a social scientist, or maths bod, or programmer, who could keep a track of the money flows. We could then see what happens, how the money collects, how much is still in the trust, check if there is any leakage, that kind of thing.

The objective is to tip people in our trust with subjective values. For me, I think I tip for people coming up with a good idea, a useful link, and best of all, an enriching experience. I also like the idea of spending $25 a day on these things.
