10. Digital Trust Ecosystems
    1. "ecosystems of ecosystem" are a distinct possibility at Layer 4 (of the ToIP diagram). But what does it mean? In case of multiple interoperable governance frameworks - the commonality present in that network of systems create an ecosystem - the natural grouping means that one does not need to do a soup-to-nuts definition of the entire ecosystem. They can be re-used among sub-ecosystems.
