3.5.3 Furthermore, the distinction between agency and structure renders concrete the limitations of a strict individualistic conception of action, in that it can only conceive of the structure—the dynamic, ever-evolving structure—as “other individuals”, without accounting for whatever emergent properties in the interplay between (i) their behaviour and (ii) the rules that imprint in their conscience the role they are expected to perform in the given case. Without trust, we are left to our own devices where there is no common ground for collective action, no rules that are in effect, no structure that can consist of agents in conformity with their expected role, and so on.
