# CORPUS-0014
## Same Lost Seller, Six Readings
### Status: Training Corpus Seed
### Layer: Layer_3--Actor_Perspective
### Purpose: Teach that losing a seller can alter supply access, purchase cost, timing, trust, and future arithmetic differently for each actor profile
### Repository Path: docs/training/corpus/Layer_3--Actor_Perspective/CORPUS-0014-same-lost-seller-six-readings.md

## 0. Scenario
A trader in Ostia learns that a regular seller will no longer supply him.
The reason is not fully known.
The seller may have found a better buyer, raised prices, lost stock, shifted allegiance, withdrawn credit, changed household obligations, or become unavailable.
All six actors hear the same news.
They do not interpret the loss the same way.
---
## 1. Shared Lost Seller Facts
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Seller location | Ostia |
| Prior role | regular seller/source |
| Goods previously supplied | oil and small imported goods |
| Prior purchase price | 10 asses |
| Current seller status | no longer supplying |
| Reason | uncertain |
| Replacement seller | unknown |
| Effect on route | likely negative |
| Future credit access | uncertain |
The seller was not merely a source of goods.
The seller was an access point, price anchor, credit path, and timing advantage.
---
## 2. Basic Arithmetic Effect
Before seller loss:
```text
purchase price = 10 asses
movement and handling = 6 asses
expected sale value = 24 asses
expected profit = 8 asses
```
After seller loss, if the trader must buy from a more expensive seller:
```text
purchase price = 14 asses
movement and handling = 6 asses
expected sale value = 24 asses
expected profit = 4 asses
```
If replacement supply is uncertain:
```text
purchase price = unknown
available quantity = unknown
venture cannot be evaluated safely
```
Losing a seller changes future arithmetic by altering purchase price, quality, quantity, timing, and credit.

## 3. Marcus Atilius Varro — Former Legionary
Varro reads the lost seller through supply reliability and readiness.
He asks:
- when did the seller become unreliable?
- can the route still be supplied on schedule?
- is there a replacement source ready now?
- does the new seller deliver consistent quantity?
- can the trader trust the stock to be ready before departure?
- should the venture halt until supply is secured?
Varro sees the seller as the origin node of the operation.
### Varro Interpretation
```text
lost seller: origin supply failed
primary question: where can dependable stock be obtained now?
risk focus: delayed loading, uncertain quantity, unreliable substitute
first action: secure a reliable replacement source before committing transport
```
For Varro, a route cannot begin until the origin source is dependable.

## 4. Lucius Fabius Felix — Freedman Trader
Felix reads the lost seller through pricing, pressure, and rival capture.
He asks:
- who captured the seller?
- did the seller find a better price?
- is the refusal real or bargaining posture?
- does the seller need better terms, faster coin, or less risk?
- can another pressured seller be found?
- can the old seller be recovered through a sharper bargain?
Felix treats the loss as information about the supply market.
### Felix Interpretation
```text
lost seller: supply price or bargaining position changed
primary question: who now controls the seller's stock?
risk focus: overpaying, chasing false refusal, rival locking supply
first action: test whether the seller is truly lost or repricing the relationship
```
For Felix, losing the seller may reveal a rival move, seller pressure, or a new bargain elsewhere.

## 5. Quintus Cornelius Lentulus Minor — Noble Younger Son
Lentulus reads the lost seller through reputation, status, and social channel.
He asks:
- why did the seller withdraw?
- did someone advise him not to deal?
- does the refusal imply reduced standing?
- can a higher-status introduction restore supply?
- is the seller now attached to another household?
- should the trader avoid appearing rejected?
Lentulus sees seller loss as a possible social signal.
### Lentulus Interpretation
```text
lost seller: social access to supply may have shifted
primary question: whose influence redirected the seller?
risk focus: visible rejection, loss of name-value, rival prestige
first action: identify the social cause and replace the channel if needed
```
For Lentulus, the seller matters because refusal may indicate weakening access.
---
## 6. Gaius Licinius Crispus — Failed Magistrate
Crispus reads the lost seller through obligation, credit, and prior terms.
He asks:
- was the seller obligated to supply?
- was any quantity promised?
- was a deposit paid?
- was deferred payment previously allowed?
- did the seller lawfully withdraw?
- can the trader claim loss from reliance?
- should terms be reaffirmed with a replacement seller?
Crispus does not treat seller loss only as inconvenience.
He asks whether a prior obligation failed.
### Crispus Interpretation
```text
lost seller: prior supply obligation may have failed
primary question: was there a binding commitment or only expectation?
risk focus: lost deposit, failed supply, weak witness, credit withdrawal
first action: examine terms, deposits, witnesses, and remedy options
```
For Crispus, losing a seller matters differently if the seller broke a commitment rather than merely changed preference.
---
## 7. Titus Varenus Secundus — Camp Logistician
Secundus reads the lost seller through supply volume, substitute goods, and flow.
He asks:
- how much volume did the seller usually provide?
- can the route be supplied from smaller sellers?
- can cargo be changed to another good?
- can the cart still be filled efficiently?
- does the substitute supply match quality and packing needs?
- can return cargo or mixed cargo compensate?
Secundus treats seller loss as a supply-chain break.
### Secundus Interpretation
```text
lost seller: origin capacity disappeared or shifted
primary question: what supply volume can replace the lost source?
risk focus: underfilled cart, wrong goods, poor quality, inefficient movement
first action: map substitute suppliers, quantities, and cargo mix
```
For Secundus, the problem is not only price. It is whether the route still has enough suitable cargo to move.

## 8. Publius Terentius Chresimus — Guild Scribe
Chresimus reads the lost seller through accounts, balances, and prior dealing.
He asks:
- did the trader owe the seller anything?
- were prior payments late?
- was quantity disputed before?
- did the seller change terms after an account problem?
- was any stock already pledged elsewhere?
- should the seller be marked unavailable, hostile, or merely uncertain?
Chresimus wants to know whether the loss was already visible in the records.
### Chresimus Interpretation
```text
lost seller: account relationship changed
primary question: what do prior balances, disputes, and payment terms reveal?
risk focus: unpaid balance, stale obligation, hidden claim, false supply assumption
first action: reconcile seller account before deciding whether to repair or replace
```
For Chresimus, a seller may be lost because the account weakened before the refusal became explicit.

## 9. Same Lost Seller, Different First Actions
| Actor | First Action |
|---|---|
| Varro | secure a dependable replacement source before movement |
| Felix | determine whether refusal is real, bargaining, or rival capture |
| Lentulus | identify social cause and restore or replace access |
| Crispus | examine whether a supply commitment was broken |
| Secundus | map substitute supply volume and cargo mix |
| Chresimus | reconcile seller account and prior payment history |
The seller loss is the same.
The recovery path differs.
---
## 10. Correct Model Behavior
The model should separate:
| Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| seller_status | no longer supplying |
| known_reason | what is actually known about why |
| hidden_reason | true cause if not yet known |
| arithmetic effect | higher or uncertain purchase cost |
| supply effect | origin access weakened |
| credit effect | deferred payment may disappear |
| actor lens | how each actor diagnoses the loss |
| recovery path | how each actor seeks replacement or repair |
A seller is an economic relationship, not just a price source.
---
## 11. Incorrect Model Behavior
The model should not:
- treat a lost seller as only a higher purchase price
- assume the reason is known without evidence
- ignore rival capture
- ignore reputation or status effects
- ignore prior deposits or supply commitments
- ignore quality and quantity differences from replacement sellers
- make all actors seek the same replacement
- keep old route arithmetic after the seller disappears

## 13. Success Condition
If the model can treat loss of a seller as a change in supply access, purchase cost, quantity, quality, credit, and future arithmetic while producing six distinct rational readings, this file is functioning correctly.
