Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the agent FROM WHOSE standpoint a trust assertion is held — the frame holder whose subjective trust the relator expresses (the trust-side counterpart of gmeow:accordingTo).

Avoid when

• Avoid for the trusted party (that is gmeow:trustee) and avoid treating the trustor as authoritative for anyone else; every trustor is one co-equal standpoint (Principle 9), so competing trustors' assertions coexist. It is functional — one perspective holder per assertion.

How to use

• Bind exactly one gmeow:Agent as the trustor; model a second agent's trust in the same trustee as a separate gmeow:TrustAssertion, never a second trustor on this one.

Examples

• ex:t1 gmeow:trustor ex:lillith.
