== The trust aspect ==
 
Information is able to pass safely and securely between any two people in such a network because the route can be divided up so that information only ever passes between people who trust each other.
 
 
 
A network of trust is a foundation onto which other more specific applications that require trust can be built. For example a trust-worthy system of trading can be built utilising a trust-group's ability to move value amongst its members in account and then settle up between themselves at a later convenient date. All trust-groups that partake in this [[contract]] form a network allowing [[currency]] to pass safely between any two parties.
 
  
 
Trust-groups can be formalised into single entities that can trade, own property or control accounts. The type of entity best suited to such a group is a trust. Trusts can be created purely out of [[contract]]s formed between the members of the trust-group.

A trust group is a group of people who all trust each other. People can belong to many trust-groups, and all the trust-groups together comprise an important aspect of the platform network, which is a network formed from bottom up-organisations that incorporate trust relationships and allows the members to leverage their potential in a reliable way. All the trust groups listed in this site are aligned with OrganicDesign.

Trust: In a social context, trust has several connotations. The typical definition of trust follows the general intuition about trust and contains such elements as:
  • the willingness of one party (trustor) to rely on the actions of another party (trustee);
  • reasonable expectation (confidence) of the trustor that the trustee will behave in a way beneficial to the trustor;
  • risk of harm to the trustor if the trustee will not behave accordingly; and
  • the absence of trustor's enforcement or control over actions performed by the trustee. [more]


Trust-groups can be formalised into single entities that can trade, own property or control accounts. The type of entity best suited to such a group is a trust. Trusts can be created purely out of contracts formed between the members of the trust-group.
