Role evolution in Open Multi-Agent Systems as an information source for trust presents the following source proposition: In Open Multi-Agent Systems (OMAS), deciding with whom to interact is a particularly difficult task for an agent, as repeated interactions with the same agents are scarce, and reputation mechanisms become increasingly unreliable. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The strong trust that sustained Maghribi trade, in which embezzlement was rare despite extreme information asymmetry, cannot be explained by a strong centralized government, since the Maghribis could not form a centralized legal or political hierarchy and the official legal channels were slow and unreliable. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
