Hmm. I'm not sure I completely understand where you are going with this, but I'm very curious about it. The whole reason blockchain has value is trust, right?
I think that trust is also built. Coders review other coders and over time the community reveals trust. This insinuates risk to me... The community validates or de-valitates, but the community is human and is therefore likely to pollute any trust. Then it can go back to the code.
Bitcoin has garnered a lot of trust. Does that mean it is therefore trustless?
What I attempt to do is zoom out to a bigger picture.
Since the latest emergence of LLMs I am sure that language is like a car. We can drive it, but we can not overcome its abilities by pure will. We need to modify it first, tune it the right way.
Some fun facts:
In Genesis, God makes Adam name all animals to give him rule over those. The language in North Korea has no word resembling "me". If people think of something that you can not name, they will call it 'a feeling'.
That made me question, can we even properly talk about blockchain right now? Starting with trustless & permissionless, what's the meaning of those words and what are we actually trying to communicate.
If trust could be build up or down, we would have to be able to 'measure' it. The only measure I can pronounce is something like a rage of absolute trust.
For example:
I trust your ability to fly this plane.
Fly it from Rome to Nice, but not to America. To what "degree" does not really matter, the corners do matter. Trust always has some irrational "disagree but endorse part to it" at its corners.

What does it mean to have a trustless system following that paradigm?
What is a Trustless Blockchain system and how does the technology that I use fit into that?
There is so much to discover, so many words that not have been spoken, thoughts not yet discovered and ideas to be colored out.
The closer my words will get to the truth, the better they will resonate with the world. I do want to master the art of telling the truth.
"...master the art of telling the truth."
Trust is basic for living together.
