Reputation is comprised of non-fungible tokens associated with specific forum graph post -> author edges. Therefore in principle, all information about the context of a given rep token can be derived by inspecting the forum graph. However, in practice, the computational costs and the difficulty of preserving complete records will increase over time. It is for this reason that we compute the current value of a given rep token and store that value. Although the value could be recomputed when needed, it would be (unpredictably) expensive and time-consuming to do so.
In its current, singular form, all instances of reputation within a given DAO have equal power, assuming equal numeric value.
However, the question arises: what would it take to support the ability to initiate a validation pool in which the power of a reputation token depends on something more than just its numeric value?
This would be something specified when a validation pool is initiated.
Suppose we support the notion of distinct types of reputation within a given DAO. Let's say we have reputation type A and B. Let's say we have a validation pool that requires reputation type A to vote, and mints reputation type A. That means governance is separated.
