Hierarchy of Intimacy

All the steps have to conform to the Principles above. For example: you share your public identity only if the other party does the same (according to Mirroring).

Between 2 Persons

  1. Sharing interfaces of negotiation: interface. This should be temporary and untraceable.
  2. Sharing a temporary identity. This is called "stranger" relationship.
  3. Sharing a non-temporary but secondary identity.
  4. Sharing your legal identity.
  5. Sharing your public ethos: ethos_1. This is called "acquaintance" relationship.
  6. Allow for challenges to the validity of your ethos_1.
  7. Allow for judgments concerning your ethos_1.
  8. Allow for judgments concerning the other party's ethos_1.
  9. Make the previous step sustainable.
  10. Sharing your product and services offer for friends: services_1. Here starts the most superficial "friendship" relationship.
  11. Allow for the creation of a common ethos, ethos_3 between the 2 parties. The editing is collaborative.
  12. Allow the other party to judge you according to ethos_3.
  13. Make the previous step sustainable.
  14. Allow for ethos_3 to become public. This is compatible with "marriage" and "committed friendship".
  15. The group with ethos_3 becomes an institution and its proofs of authority are available to other institutions.

Between A Person and An Institution

  1. Sharing interfaces of negotiation: interface. This should be traceable by both sides.
  2. Sharing your legal identity.
  3. The person creates a profile with the institution: composing and sharing ethos_3
  4. Allow the institution to judge you according to ethos_3.
  5. Allow other institutions selective access to ethos_3 information: This is compatible with "citizenship" relationship.

Between 2 Institutions

  1. Sharing interfaces of negotiation: interface. This should be traceable by both sides.
  2. Sharing proofs of authority.
  3. Establishing role protocols, and composing the relationship contract.
  4. Enacting the contract. The contract is the ethos_3 of the institutional group.
