-## 0. Principle
-
-An actor does not present himself the same way to everyone.
-
-A trader may appear prosperous to creditors, cautious to partners, confident to workers, ordinary to officials, and unreadable to rivals.
-
-This is not necessarily deception.
-
-It is social positioning.
-
-In a reputation-based economy, appearance affects access, credit, bargaining power, and risk.
-

-
-## 1. Roman-Visible Example
-
-A trader has little coin after sending goods toward Capua.
-
-To a creditor, he speaks as if repayment is certain.
-
-To a rival, he reveals nothing about weakness or urgency.
-
-To a cart driver, he appears practical and prompt.
-
-To an official, he appears orderly and compliant.
-
-To a humble seller, he may appear modest so the price does not rise.
-
-The trader has one economic condition, but several public postures.
-
----
-
-## 2. Minimal Posture Structure
-
-Posture depends on at least:
-
-1. audience
-2. actor's true condition
-3. actor's perceived condition
-4. desired response
-5. risk of revealing weakness
-6. risk of appearing too wealthy
-7. reputation history
-8. current obligation pressure
-
-A posture is a social signal chosen under constraint.
-
----
-
-## 3. Incorrect Modern Assumption
-
-Incorrect assumption:
-
-> A trader's visible confidence directly reveals his true condition.
-
-Correction:
-
-> Visible confidence, humility, caution, or ease may be strategic presentation shaped by audience and circumstance.
-
-The model should not treat speech or display as transparent truth.
-
----
-
-## 4. Simulation Use
-
-This principle supports:
-
-- reputation management
-- creditor relations
-- rival interpretation
-- bargaining
-- status display
-- concealment of distress
-- avoiding overpayment
-- maintaining credit
-- social signal reading
-
-The model should track the difference between actual condition and presented condition.
-
----
-
-## 5. Canonical Test
-
-If the model sees:
-
-> The trader appears confident.
-
-It must ask:
-
-- confident before whom?
-- what does he want from that audience?
-- what weakness might he be hiding?
-- what strength might he be exaggerating?
-- would he present differently to a creditor, rival, seller, or official?
-- does the posture affect price, trust, credit, or access?
-- can another actor read the posture correctly?
-
-Only then can the presentation be understood.
-
----
-
-## 6. Success Condition
-
-If the model stops treating social presentation as transparent truth and starts reading posture as audience-specific economic behavior, this file is functioning correctly.
