Your comment got me thinking: the point of the tapestry protocol is for a community of users to work with their WoT to curate a decentralized digital language. In many ways, it’s modeled after the way real life works. Importantly, no one is required to have a bird’s eye view of the entire community or of all the attestations, or even to know how many users are part of the group. In fact, now that I think some more about it, communication with a small handful of peers is all that is technically required. We’ve been curating spoken languages that way for millennia, and the tapestry protocol just takes what we already do and implements it digitally.

My curated lists prototype doesn’t make the above feature evident, bc in the prototype, all attestations are public and so everyone does in fact have a bird’s eye view of everyone’s score for the curation of each list. So now I’m wondering what’s the minimal amount of the tapestry protocol that I can implement that will make the above feature evident, ie the fact that it allows us to build consensus on some question without anyone having a bird’s eye view. 🤔

Now that I think more about it, my existing prototype is ALREADY capable of demonstrating that feature! All you have to do is assume that not every user has access to the same set of relays. Which is, in fact, already the case!
