@xjix You mean "proof of work"?

in any case I’m not actually really sure of myself I’ll have to sit down and work out the math

@xjix If I read your meaning correctly, I'll have to say no. A web of trust is much more concrete, based on a single standard that changes, if at all, very mildly. 'Proof of Woke' is a standard that frequently makes wild shifts, which is why high-profile nodes are dropped from the swarm so frequently.

@xjix Oh! 😳 I have no idea what that means then!

Initially, I thought surely not, but, the more I think about it... Both are relative, measured in degrees. Tests for both are fallible, if subjects parrot the right words. Increasing confidence in any test results, over time, is also shared. Definitions of them are subjective too... Interesting!
However, thinking about it some more... While trust is subjective, it isn't as relates to key signing parties: this person was in possession of this unique material when I met them is something you can represent mathematically. But, proof of the other... Well, it'd have to be some sort of combined score, wouldn't it? A BLM test, plus a MeToo test, etc. Not impossible to represent, but maybe trickier to prove the equivalence, or near equivalence, of the two.
@xjix Yes, that's an excellent way of putting it. :)
