Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain trust and its kinds, describe how trust is built, measured and repaired with attribution, support questions about institutional and technological trust, and separate the legal trust sense.

The belief that another person, organisation or system will act reliably, honestly and in one interest, allowing cooperation and risk-taking without full control, including interpersonal trust, institutional trust in governments and media, patient trust in clinicians, self-confidence as trust in oneself, and trust in technology; trust is studied in psychology, sociology, economics and computing and is built, measured and sometimes broken.

What it is for: Reliance on others under uncertainty.

It can be explain kinds of trust; describe building and repairing trust; present trust research and measures; separate other senses.
