Conjecture
Accumulating many personbytes of knowledge needs large cooperation networks, and Hidalgo argues those form where interaction is cheap because trust is high. Inspectable records and programmable commitments are a partial substitute for trust: they lower the cost of cooperating with strangers. So they should let low-trust settings build the larger knowledge networks Hidalgo says such places lack.
