Philip,
I've been up some days now with a couple of kitten naps with lots on my
plate. Would you help me by providing a brief overview of the thesis,
model and impl, please? It certainly sounds exciting with your modeling
at the meta.
Regards,
Robert

I've sort of been following this discussion, not being too
familiar with thinking about PGP. I did an S/MIME impl awhile back.
I would like to propose adding 2 features:
a. add a registry family that is self-signed and the members form
a quorum for election and the family cert is distributed across
many registries and there is eventual consistency.
b. use a blockchain to make eventually consistent and authenticate
the quorum of members of a self-signed family cert, published to
global registry.
I think you blockchain the self-signed, globally published family
cert which contains quorum approval of additions and revocations
of certs produced by this self-signed family cert with CA ability.
I think that's secure without 3rd party CA/RevokeCertList (if
IIIRC it's name).
Do you think my proposal has merit?
Take a look at this, it gives a mathematical framework for that sort
of approach:

The Meta Mathematical Mesh is intended to work in that way. Just
finishing some code and producing initial specs.
