I can understand the negatives as since I've now been up for 2 days I'm pretty unable to think straight and plus I've been thinking for a long while how to present any of this without explaining everything including the algo itself which I absolutely refuse to do.
This would make the 3rd port of the algo as I am already using it for 2 other very difficult problems successfully.
I was hoping to get some feedback as far as what people thought of the concept more than anything.
As for transparency it must be understood that the algo would never be revealed and it would be plainly obvious to the users once they used and understood it's use that it was a very sound system.
People or entities would simply be assigned an ID consisting of a string of chrs, probably 128bits. No info about "them" would be stored or even able to be entered and it wouldn't be needed anyway. It's just referring to an object with values attached to it that can be modified by others through rating and looked up.
Can't store in a DB? How can you ref any object that is not stored somewhere?
Now if entities were not assigned an ID (that could also be refed by QR code) then how could anything be calculated or looked up?
Not cool? Alternatives?
You can't rate or assign any values to a non-object.
There is the foundation.
Did you have an idea of how to calculate variables that were never defined?
The "dream" has already been kept alive by using this algo on 2 other hard problems before this.
I just had this idea a few months ago after constantly being barraged by the question of why people have such a weak trust model and readily trust information from totally proven un-trustworthy sources in addition to other people who are also proven un-trustworthy.
In addition there is always a "trust chain" that could go on for very many branches which would basically be impossible for anyone to verify with a high degree of certainty.
My algo takes care of all that and does it extremely well.
