The positive is acted upon on the projected future state while the  
negative is projected future state that is grounds for avoiding action  
or taking alternate mitigating action.

Didn't I make both Trust and Risk association classes between the  
Trusting and the Trusted?

1. I agree that a note may be adequate.
2. My comment above would say they really aren't out of synch at all.   
This doesn't preclude a possible note on sequencing.

I see Danny's diagram almost as a subset of mine, and I think the two  
can converge with a bit more discussion.  Danny introduces State but  
explicitly not Shared State, but I didn't quite catch why or the  
intended distinction.  Given RWE is in terms of Shared State, I feel  
just saying State begs for an explicit relationship to tie loose ends  
together.
