Whuffie, the money/social capital analog in Cory Doctorow’s “down and out in the magic kingdom” had some feature like that. Right handed whuffie was whuffie was given by people you like and left handed whuffie was whuffie given by people you didn’t like. So, mind similarity could incorporate some such measure, where left handed whuffie was made really important.
If I’ve learned to rely on something, it’s this community providing references to amazing and relevant material. Thank you so much.
Aside: As it turns out, the Whuffie, especially its weighted variety, is very close to what I had in mind for a distributed cloud architecture I am working on. I called the concept ‘community currency’ but the monetary reference always puts people off. Perhaps referring to Whuffie (or the related Kudos) will help better communicate. Again, many thanks.
