    Grown trust is trust grown within or through use of a system. For instance, people co-operating in a guild, faction, political party or large public wiki may come to trust each other in ways and for purposes that the system does not measure, support, or take notice of.

    This is different than the built trust that the system itself created and can claim some responsibility for, and also different from the found trust people had before they started using the system.

    Activists exploit grown trust heavily. They organize events where they will be literally forced to trust each other, like a trade protest, and so grow new trust that is not simply that which was built through co-operating in the plans.
