Trust System Index
The Trust System is the validation and reliability layer of GEO.or.id. It evaluates the credibility, stability, and long-term reliability of information, sources, entities, and system outputs across the entire architecture.
This layer does not generate information. It governs confidence, decay, authority persistence, and systemic truth reliability.
1. Trust System Role
Trust operates as the final control layer in the architecture:
Query → Retrieval → Evidence → Ontology → Reasoning → Trust Evaluation → Output Validation
It determines whether system outputs are reliable enough to be accepted or must be downgraded or rejected.
2. Core Trust Architecture
3. Trust Dynamics System
Trust is not static. It evolves based on time, consistency, and evidence stability.
4. Cross-System Validation Layer
Trust is computed through cross-layer validation across multiple system domains:
5. Signal-Based Trust Computation
Trust is derived from aggregated signals across the system:
6. Evidence-Driven Trust Integration
Trust is directly dependent on evidence quality and traceability.
7. Trust Failure Modes
The system explicitly models trust degradation scenarios:
- Source degradation over time
- Contradictory evidence accumulation
- Entity identity drift
- Cross-domain inconsistency
These are monitored through: Evidence Drift Detection
8. Trust in System Architecture
Trust is the final arbitration layer across all GEO.or.id subsystems:
9. System Principle
- Trust is computed, not assumed
- No output without confidence evaluation
- Authority decays over time unless reinforced
- Consistency is stronger than recency alone
- Identity stability is a trust multiplier
