Figure 2.2 From Features (F) to Qualities (Q) through Evaluation: in particular (Feature 1 and Feature
3) are evaluated as good for the task τ while (Feature 4) is good for the task τ

(and she generates positive
expectations of him), also because she ascribes to him certain qualities .
Then, we can say that if (see Figure 2.3):
SetQ is the set of qualities (powers) needed for

X trusts Y - that is, she has a positive evaluation of him for τ

, then for p ( g X ); in case Y possesses all
the elements in SetQ then X could trust Y for achieving g X .
