X
's Delegation meets

's Adoption, and vice versa: reciprocal trust
and vice versa), the structure presented in Figure 1.3 is doubled, as indicated in Figure 1.4.
In this case, there is in fact trust/reliance from both sides and adoption from both sides.
Finally, it is worth noticing that even in
asynchronous
exchanges, when
X
acts
before Y
and
Y
acts only after
X
's 'help',
Y
is trusting
X
. Not necessarily at the very moment of doing his
own share, but before, when
Y
decides to accept
X
's help and to rely on it.
14
Of course, in
asynchronous 'exchanges' where
X
moves first,
X
's trust in
Y
is broader and more risky:
X
has
additionally to believe (before obtaining concrete evidence) that
Y
will do the expected action,
whereas
Y
already has some evidence of
X
's contribution (although this might be deceptive).
14
For instance,
Y
has to believe that
X
's help is good, is as needed, is convenient, is stable enough (it will not be
taken back by
X
), and so on.
