I wouldn't characterize it as transitive trust in that sense, no. Think
about it like a whole nation-state is under a tree, and you ask your local
Forest Guide if you need to find the tree of another nation-state. It's a
way to let non-overlapping authorities opt in to cooperating on a global
system. So yes, you trust your own tree to be able to point you to other
trees as a form of lateral delegation, as an alternative to top-down. But
within the +1 tree, for example, there is a direct delegation of
authority.
