Emergent relationships

Relationships are emergent, a cumulative property of many interactions that grow trust, affiliation, shared understanding.

Relationship definitions in social network services don't reflect this -- they are declarative and static. You define and categorize a relationship at a point in time.

From conversation on #joito last night.
