Thousands of concurrent rating schemes. Nobody decides centrally what a contribution was worth.
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
A graph that records contribution raises an obvious question: who decides what each contribution was worth? Every existing answer places that judgment somewhere — an editor, a platform, an algorithm owned by whoever benefits from its output.
The QRS answers it by refusing the premise. It derives trust, compliance, contribution, quality, safety and public-benefit ratings from encrypted lineage, and computes hundreds or thousands of concurrent rating schemes simultaneously, mapped through UTM Trust Taxonomies — personalized, context-dependent, and evolving adaptively.
Each entry below carries its own provenance — the source, and how it was processed. That is the condition on which this graph can be extended by anyone without degrading.
The trail exists so that people who were there can reconstruct their own memories, recognize what they helped incubate, and add to or correct the record — or forward the few pages that belong to someone they know.
A single rating is a single authority wearing a different hat, and it will eventually be captured by whoever gains most from a particular score. Thousands of concurrent schemes cannot be, because there is no single output to corrupt and no privileged one to defend.
It is the same structural move the Unified Trust Model makes with belief: unlimited concurrent taxonomies, none required to agree with any other, coherent because the transitions between them compose. Applied to worth rather than to trust.
The provenance grades on these pages — documented, recollection, family record, oral tradition — are a first, crude, human-maintained instance of the same idea. Four schemes running at once over the same corpus, none of them overriding the others, each useful for a different question.
A reader deciding whether to believe the ARPA claim wants a different lens from one deciding whether the story is worth retelling. Both are legitimate. Neither should have to accept the other's rating.
There is no single root. This is one view of the graph, from this node — what you see depends on where you enter and what you are looking for.
