| PinfoNet notes | PinfoNet (main page) |
It is comprised of participation
Its machine part is storage and transmissions
Its people part is sources and trust
| Authoring | Forwarding | Purveying |
| The network is comprised of individuals and transmissions | Each recipient may re-author or re-transmit | PinfoNet is trusted transmissions |
| For each individual there is a first degree of association | The recipient is in the author's 1st degree of association | PinfoNet Links are in protected spaces |
| Within a degree of association, there will be promotion, and forwarding | The recipient, as an author, represents a 2nd degree of association | PinfoNet Links may point to public places |
| Within an individual's associations, there are members of groups | A 2nd degree of association means propagation and promotion mixed between separate first degrees of association |
Without a public link, a place isn't seen (That much I know, 'cause that's where I've been) |
| Each of those groups is a people grouping | Perhaps a Pinfo-Link could point to a protected, purveyor-site (using email addresses) | |
| The author is a member of more than one group | PinfoNet goes public, by being everyone's info | |
| Author group members are members of other groups | Trust in a public source is to take its text as pinfo | |
| Propagation and promotion begin with authors and groups | People's trust in the public is public trust in pinfo | |

Question (#1): How many recipients could a single, most-trusted original transmission produce? |
Question (#2): For a single, publicly sourced news item, how many PinfoNet sources would forward that article, and how many recipients would that produce? |
