This may be especially true for migrant ramifies who have limited social support networks.
From there the notion ramifies, splitting into "thick trust" (of people we know) and "thin trust" (of people we don't), and taking in the behaviour of gazelles being chased by wild dogs; unofficial truces between frontline German and British soldiers in the first world war; the apparatus of modern surveillance; and the Prisoner's Dilemma, with "its obscure moral topography, in which telling the truth appears to count as cheating".
But in the end they seem no more than reductions of an oeuvre that ramifies endlessly.
