Yup. In my framework, attestations are contextual. Some contexts are broad, others are specific / niche. Trust (or lack thereof) in a broad context automatically implies trust (or lack thereof) in all sub-contexts.

The most broad of all would take the form: “Alice trusts (or doesn’t trust) Bob for all actions, in all categories.” In other words, in all contexts. Trust attestations are averaged by your Grapevine to create context-specific influence scores, and the “base layer” of influence scores is the layer that applies to ALL contexts.

“Alice trusts (or doesn’t trust) Bob for all actions, in all categories.” – how do you represent that today in a nostr event?

I use the tapestry protocol to format a rating using json, and I have some TIPs on how to store ratings (and other pieces of json-encoded data) in nostr.

The below link shows an example of a rating and shows how I wrap it into the content of a kind 39901 event.
