Participant Trust rank State

1 · Assigned trust

explicitly assigned

What each participant decided directly: the value in row r, column c is how much r trusts c. Edit any cell; 0 or blank means no assignment.

The diagonal is the identity — everyone trusts themselves fully. It is shown for completeness but never handed to Appleseed: a self-edge would siphon off a share of that participant's outgoing energy and skew every rank downstream.

2 · Derived peer-to-peer trust

What propagation produces: Appleseed run once per participant, each as their own trust source. Row r, column c is the rank c earns from r's point of view — including peers r never assigned anything to. Every row redistributes the same energy pool.
