Trust_Equilibrium_Descriptive_Framework_v0.1
Abstract
This document defines a descriptive framework for examining trust under uncertainty. It distinguishes incompatible modes of trust, clarifies common category errors, and explains how different uses of the term “trust” can coexist or conflict across contexts. The framework is descriptive and non-normative. It does not define metrics, governance rules, optimisation criteria, or prescriptions for action. Version v0.1 is released as a frozen public record.
