This belongs in Meta.
For the purposes of explanation, trusting someone simply means that you carry their feedback in the "trusted" section.
Depth is the degree of which you recursively trust those in your trust list and those that are in the trust lists of people that you trust.
For example: Depth 0 means that you only trust people who you add to your trust list. Depth 1 means that you trust people who are in your trust lists, and in the trust lists of people you added to your trust list. Depth 2 means that now additionally, the people in the depth 1 lists are trusted by you. Depth n means that you trust the people in the depth n-1 lists.
An illustrative example:
This symbol: -> means adding someone to the trust list.
You -> A A -> B A -> C B -> D B -> E
Depth 0:
A is trusted.
Depth 1:
A is trusted, B and C are trusted.
Depth 2:
A is trusted, B and C are trusted, D and E are trusted. If you're familiar with CS terminology, think of it as a tree with nodes, where parents add children to their trust list.
