mircea_popescu: this may be the first time in human history that actual problems of fundamental math can be experimentally tested ;/
mircea_popescu: im regarding it purely as a graph theory / algebraic structures isse

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, that definitely doesn't work like any group algebra i ever heard of
Pierre_Rochard: enemy of my enemy is my friend vs. scammers scamming scammers. I think the latter makes more sense in the context of trust relationships
danielpbarron: why not a +1 with that someone else? (the enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of thing)
mircea_popescu: it's actually very deep because it has fundamental graph theory implications
mircea_popescu: suppose you -1 someone and that someone -1s someone else. should you have 0 or -1 l2 with the someone else ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder if the current treatment of neg trust over l2 composition is to ignore the 2nd layer negs or to convey them
danielpbarron: i get the feeling that he's trying to do some sort of poorly managed public relations campaign right now
