Hey pippellia (npub176p…vgup)!
I agree that a key here is spontaneous user action. Zaps are a great candidate, because it doesn't feel like work; it feels like a thank you, and we already see people doing it. And within a network with zap trails as a primary content curation technique, it would feel like an upvote as well (though local, not global) . This is why I call the zap network a "self-cultivating" neural net - we don't have to solve the problem of "who creates the graph", because users are already clearly primed to engage in the actions that generate the data the algorithm needs.
By the way, I resonate a lot with your writing on "There is no global", and love the framing that the idea of "global truth" is as dead today as God was dead in the 19th century.
The last part of your piece is a bit too math-heavy for me to follow easily, but your bullet pointed description fits.
