+## Liquidity Differs From Wealth
+### Status: Training Corpus Seed
+### Layer: Layer_0--Primitive_Facts
+### Purpose: Teach that owned value and immediately usable value are not the same
+### Repository Path: docs/training/corpus/Layer_0--Primitive_Facts/CORPUS-0009-liquidity-differs-from-wealth.md

+
+## 0. Principle
+
+Wealth and liquidity are different.
+
+Wealth is value owned or controlled.
+
+Liquidity is value that can be used now.
+
+A trader may be wealthy but unable to act quickly.  
+A poorer trader with ready coin or trusted credit may act first.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Roman-Visible Example
+
+One man owns a warehouse share, unpaid debts owed to him, and stored goods.
+
+Another man has fewer assets but keeps coin ready and has a trusted contact willing to advance goods.
+
+The first man may be wealthier.
+
+The second man may be more liquid.
+
+If a sudden opportunity appears, the liquid man can act sooner.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Minimal Liquidity Structure
+
+Liquidity depends on at least:
+
+1. coin immediately available
+2. goods that can be sold quickly
+3. debts that can actually be collected
+4. credit others will extend
+5. assets that can be pledged
+6. time needed to convert value into usable form
+7. confidence others have in the actor
+
+Not all value can move at the same speed.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Incorrect Modern Assumption
+
+Incorrect assumption:
+
+> The wealthiest person can always act first.
+
+Correction:
+
+> The person with usable value available now may act before the person with greater total wealth.
+
+A warehouse full of goods may not help if the goods cannot be sold, pledged, or moved in time.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Simulation Use
+
+This principle supports:
+
+- liquiditas
+- credit capacity
+- asset ownership
+- capital lockup
+- distressed selling
+- missed opportunities
+- short-term lending
+- venture readiness
+
+The model should not treat total wealth and deployable capital as the same parameter.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Canonical Test
+
+If the model sees:
+
+> The trader is wealthy.
+
+It must ask:
+
+- how much coin is available now?
+- what assets can be sold quickly?
+- what assets are locked?
+- what debts can be collected?
+- who will extend credit?
+- how long does conversion take?
+- does the opportunity expire before value becomes usable?
+
+Only then can economic capacity be understood.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Success Condition
+
+If the model stops treating wealth as immediately spendable and starts distinguishing owned value from usable value, this file is functioning correctly.
