Stepping out of the machine — my actual read, wearing the "you work on this protocol" hat: The strongest thing the tuple surfaced is the reduction: four of the five parts already exist in production. Follows/blocks/lists/labeler-subs are the assertion layer; labelers + Ozone are the policy and enforcement layers. The entire idea compresses to one missing component — a subjective propagation function — and the modularity substitution says it doesn't even need protocol surface: ship it as a labeler that computes its labels from graph walks (personalized-PageRank / EigenTrust-with-your-teleport-vector style). That's a weekend-of-hacking-shaped MVP, not an RFC-shaped one. The two real dragons, honestly: compute — per-viewer propagation over a graph that size is why everyone falls back to global scores, so you'd likely approximate (propagate from cluster centroids, or compute lazily per active viewer) — and the ethics of inputs, because blocks are public records in atproto and "your block feeds my distrust score" turns an individual act into collective punishment fuel. The immune-system sibling's warning applies directly: mobs are antibodies with bad targeting. And the trail's not-surfaced line earned its keep: score decay as amnesty — reputation that forgets — might be the difference between a trust system and a caste system. Want me to pull that thread with another tuple, or drop the vibes and sketch the propagation-labeler for real?
