The idea of trust as an intangible was raised by Alan McLucas. How about 
thinking of trust as  the following: -What creates a trust between 
people? For me, it might be the number of times I am told something by 
someone and then how many of these transfers of information were lies or 
truths. Trust builds based on the number of truths, trust is diminished 
based on lies. How about a ratio of lies to all transfers of 
information? Or a ratio of lies to truths? Certainly, humans use some 
form or internal meaure to determine if they can trust-the challenge, it 
seems, is to determine what the measure is.
