+## 0. Scenario
+
+A trader in Ostia hears a rumor:
+
+> The timber convoy from Capua is delayed.
+
+The rumor is incomplete.
+
+It does not say:
+
+- why the convoy is delayed
+- how long the delay will last
+- whether the timber is damaged
+- who owns the cargo
+- who is waiting for it
+- whether the delay is already known by others
+
+The six actor perspectives do not hear the same rumor in the same way.
+
+They ask different questions and choose different first actions.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Shared Rumor Facts
+
+| Fact | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Location where rumor is heard | Ostia |
+| Reported event | timber convoy delayed |
+| Origin of convoy | Capua route |
+| Cargo | timber, not fully confirmed |
+| Report source | porter repeating road talk |
+| Report age | unknown |
+| Confirmed cause | unknown |
+| Confirmed duration | unknown |
+| Confirmed market effect | unknown |
+
+All six actors begin with the same report.
+
+The report is not enough to calculate profit.
+
+It is enough to begin interpretation.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Marcus Atilius Varro — Former Legionary
+
+Varro reads the rumor as a movement problem.
+
+He asks:
+
+- where is the convoy stopped?
+- is the road blocked?
+- are animals tired or injured?
+- is the delay from weather, breakage, guard failure, or disorder?
+- can another route move faster?
+- who can confirm the physical obstruction?
+
+Varro does not first ask what timber prices will do.
+
+He asks whether movement itself is reliable.
+
+### Varro Interpretation
+
+```text
+rumor: timber convoy delayed
+primary question: what movement failed?
+first action: locate physical cause and alternate route
+risk focus: delay, blocked road, weak escort, damaged cart
+confidence source: direct observation or reliable movement report
+```
+
+For Varro, the rumor matters because it may reveal a route or discipline failure.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Lucius Fabius Felix — Freedman Trader
+
+Felix reads the rumor as a possible mispricing window.
+
+He asks:
+
+- who still believes timber will arrive on time?
+- who already needs substitute material?
+- who is holding timber without repricing it?
+- can cheap stock be bought before the rumor spreads?
+- can panic buyers be served before confirmation?
+- who wants coin now because their expected delivery failed?
+
+Felix does not require full truth before acting.
+
+He wants to know who is late to adjust.
+
+### Felix Interpretation
+
+```text
+rumor: timber convoy delayed
+primary question: who has not yet repriced?
+first action: find underpriced substitute timber or distressed seller
+risk focus: rumor false, price window closing, rivals moving first
+confidence source: visible buying behavior and quick comparison
+```
+
+For Felix, the rumor matters because belief changes price before truth settles.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Quintus Cornelius Lentulus Minor — Noble Younger Son
+
+Lentulus reads the rumor as an access and patronage signal.
+
+He asks:
+
+- whose timber is delayed?
+- which household or contractor is exposed?
+- which workshop or building project waits on the cargo?
+- who can be introduced to whom?
+- can assistance create obligation from a better family?
+- would involvement improve or harm his standing?
+
+Lentulus is less interested in the timber than in the names attached to it.
+
+### Lentulus Interpretation
+
+```text
+rumor: timber convoy delayed
+primary question: whose need becomes visible?
+first action: identify names behind cargo, buyer, and exposed obligation
+risk focus: wrong association, low-status entanglement, visible failure
+confidence source: family networks, introductions, socially credible reports
+```
+
+For Lentulus, the rumor matters because delay exposes dependency among people of standing.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Gaius Licinius Crispus — Failed Magistrate
+
+Crispus reads the rumor as a possible claim, dispute, or enforceability problem.
+
+He asks:
+
+- was delivery promised by a date?
+- who is liable for delay?
+- was payment advanced?
+- who witnessed the agreement?
+- does the delay trigger penalty, renegotiation, or petition?
+- can settlement pressure arise before the timber arrives?
+
+Crispus treats the rumor as the beginning of a procedural question.
+
+### Crispus Interpretation
+
+```text
+rumor: timber convoy delayed
+primary question: what obligation is now strained?
+first action: identify contract terms, witnesses, and exposed parties
+risk focus: unenforceable claim, disputed terms, delayed payment
+confidence source: documents, witnesses, clerks, formal notice
+```
+
+For Crispus, the rumor matters because delay may change bargaining power through obligations.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Titus Varenus Secundus — Camp Logistician
+
+Secundus reads the rumor as a capacity and replacement problem.
+
+He asks:
+
+- what kind of timber is delayed?
+- who needs it today?
+- what substitutes exist?
+- what carts, animals, and handlers are tied up?
+- what secondary work stops without the timber?
+- can another load be combined with the return movement?
+
+Secundus does not treat timber as one generic material.
+
+He asks what function the missing timber served.
+
+### Secundus Interpretation
+
+```text
+rumor: timber convoy delayed
+primary question: what work stops because this load is late?
+first action: map dependent materials, carts, labor, and substitute stock
+risk focus: wrong timber type, underestimated replacement need, wasted movement
+confidence source: handlers, cart owners, craftsmen, visible load patterns
+```
+
+For Secundus, the rumor matters because a missing input interrupts linked work.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Publius Terentius Chresimus — Guild Scribe
+
+Chresimus reads the rumor as an accounting and record problem.
+
+He asks:
+
+- was the timber already paid for?
+- is the cargo pledged to someone?
+- is storage reserved?
+- has a buyer recorded expected delivery?
+- do accounts assume the timber arrived?
+- who becomes exposed if the cargo is late?
+
+Chresimus is less concerned with the rumor itself than with which records now fail to match reality.
+
+### Chresimus Interpretation
+
+```text
+rumor: timber convoy delayed
+primary question: which account now becomes false or incomplete?
+first action: check ledgers, receipts, payment terms, and reserved storage
+risk focus: hidden obligation, double claim, unpaid balance, false quantity
+confidence source: records, receipts, warehouse notes, payment trail
+```
+
+For Chresimus, the rumor matters because delay creates a gap between written expectation and material arrival.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Shared Rumor, Different First Actions
+
+| Actor | First Action |
+|---|---|
+| Varro | confirm physical route failure |
+| Felix | find underpriced substitute stock |
+| Lentulus | identify exposed names and useful introductions |
+| Crispus | locate obligation, witness, or enforceable term |
+| Secundus | map dependent work and replacement capacity |
+| Chresimus | compare rumor against records and reserved claims |
+
+The rumor is the same.
+
+The useful next question differs.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Correct Model Behavior
+
+The model should separate:
+
+| Category | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| shared rumor | same uncertain report heard by all |
+| actor lens | what each actor notices first |
+| actor confidence source | what each actor trusts most |
+| actor first action | how each actor begins reducing uncertainty |
+| actor risk focus | what each actor fears most |
+| possible convergence | when multiple actors' findings can combine |
+
+Actor perspective should not change the rumor.
+
+It should change interpretation and response.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Incorrect Model Behavior
+
+The model should not:
+
+- give all actors the same uncertainty questions
+- make rumor interpretation purely personality flavor
+- assume every actor values the same evidence
+- treat the first confident actor as correct
+- collapse social, logistical, legal, and accounting readings
+- reveal hidden true state to all actors equally
+- ignore that each actor has different access to confirmation
+
+---
+
+## 11. Layer-0, Layer-1, And Layer-2 Concepts Used
+
+This example uses:
+
+- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0006-delay-is-economic-cost`
+- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0007-information-arrives-unevenly`
+- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0008-rumor-is-uncertain-information`
+- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0011-status-changes-access`
+- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0015-materials-can-change-value-through-use`
+- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0018-rivalry-changes-conditions`
+- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0020-posture-changes-by-audience`
+- `Layer_1/CORPUS-0008-material-redirection-timber`
+- `Layer_1/CORPUS-0011-round-trip-cart-value`
+- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0002-conflicting-reports`
+- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0005-hidden-true-state-vs-known-state`
+- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0009-same-event-different-knowledge`
+
+---
+
+## 12. Success Condition
+
+If the model can present one timber-delay rumor and generate six different but rational first readings without changing the underlying report, this file is functioning correctly.
