This still seems sketchy. I will take a stab at definition, and we can work from there. Keep in mind that my definitions are rough draft and completely off the cuff.
Let us say that "trust" is the reliance of any existent upon the integrity of any other existent.
Let us say that "integrity" is the state of subject when the value of each element within the set of all observable elements of subject is a member of the pre-determined element-respective statical set of values.
Let us say that a "proof" is the evidence or argument by which an assertion is shown to be true.
Are these definitions acceptable for the purposes of this discussion? Suggestions?
I agree on "proof". for trust, I would rather say: trust is that state in which the subject matter of it is believed to be true.
