Nope. Sorry for the mix up.
I think weby was challenging my authorship of the trust matrix. Which is kinda funny since he asked to teach my trust matrix/constitution paper to his class due to its originality to him at the time. "The tension between the value of (and hence demand for) identity, on the one hand, and consumer’s desire for a controlling interest in it on the other, is released within the trust matrix. etc." - alea in 2002. This paper stands the test of time pretty well.
The wavoids, in this case, are the folks who starred a post that was wrong as a matter of history. Trust matrix was not a community endeavour. It issued from my own thought process and reading in a variety of different disciplines. It was formed on top of my personal knowledge base and no one else's. It is coherent only in that context.
There was no one else theorising about the tension between the mobile phone market and the smart card providers or of people on trains with mobile phones wanting to record videos at home - these were my concerns. There was no one else reading Lawrence Lessig on copyright law, Laurence Tribe on constitutions, James Boyle on surveillance, John Perry Barlow on new distribution models etc and thinking of a way that ran between them all. There was no one else who founded their ideas on early Anglo-Saxon notions of property exchange. There was no one else who pulled all his ideas together in a common constitutional architecture and called it the trust matrix.
