AKBAN Trust Research
A Study in Physical Practice and Community Building
The Trust Matrix in Practice
Trust (אמון) operates as a matrix of interconnected capabilities and relationships. In the dojo, this matrix becomes tangible through physical practice. The work at AKBAN examines how communities build trust without relying on opposition to external threats. This led to developing the Detant framework for emotional regulation and trust development.
