sum(trust of zapper * log(zap amount)) / (hours since creation)^constant

The numerator is how top is defined, so hot is like top with decay.

What elements increase or decrease trust?

Increase it by zapping content earlier than other people will also zap it. (ie zap good content early)

Decrease it by zapping content that no one else will zap. Decrease it more by zapping content that others downzap. (ie don't zap bad content)
