Interpersonal trust is like the strong nuclear force. It only extends to 1-2 transitive degrees defining a "nuclear" family of sorts. Impersonal institutional trust is more like gravity and not based on social graph transitivity at all.

I don't trust people who rhapsodize uncritically about the transitivity of trust and guanxi cultures based on it. When transitive trust operates more than 2 degrees out, it does so at an exceptionally high cost, via erosion of other forms of trust, complicity bonding etc

So, you're saying that trust works at single and dual degrees of separation, but breaks down at paucal degrees.
