-## 0. Principle
-
-Delay is cost.
-
-A trader may lose value even when no coin leaves his hand.
-
-Time can reduce profit by:
-
-- changing prices
-- tying up capital
-- increasing storage cost
-- increasing spoilage or breakage risk
-- missing another opportunity
-- weakening trust
-- delaying repayment
-- allowing rivals to act first
-
-A slow venture can fail even when the purchase and sale prices looked favorable.
-

-
-## 1. Roman-Visible Example
-
-A trader buys oil in Ostia for 10 asses.
-
-He expects to sell it in Capua for 18 asses.
-
-The cart is delayed two days.
-
-During those two days:
-
-- storage costs rise
-- a rival shipment reaches Capua first
-- the Capua price falls
-- the trader cannot use the same coin for another venture
-
-No one has stolen the oil.
-
-Nothing has visibly changed about the amphora.
-
-But the venture has become worse.
-
----
-
-## 2. Minimal Delay Structure
-
-Delay affects a venture through at least:
-
-1. time before departure
-2. travel time
-3. time waiting for sale
-4. storage duration
-5. price movement during waiting
-6. capital locked during waiting
-7. reputation effects from late delivery
-
-Time is not empty.  
-Time acts on value.
-
----
-
-## 3. Incorrect Modern Assumption
-
-Incorrect assumption:
-
-> If the good is not damaged and no new fee is paid, delay costs nothing.
-
-Correction:
-
-> Delay can cost value through missed timing, falling prices, tied capital, storage, and lost trust.
-
----
-
-## 4. Simulation Use
-
-This principle supports:
-
-- venture timers
-- route duration
-- storage fees
-- changing destination prices
-- missed opportunity
-- contract deadlines
-- information delay
-- reputation changes from late fulfillment
-
-The model should treat time as part of venture accounting.
-
----
-
-## 5. Canonical Test
-
-If the model sees:
-
-> The trader waits three days before sending the goods.
-
-It must ask:
-
-- did prices change?
-- did storage cost increase?
-- did rivals act first?
-- did the buyer still need the good?
-- was capital locked during the wait?
-- did the delay damage trust?
-- did a better opportunity expire?
-
-Only then can the delay be evaluated.
-
----
-
-## 6. Success Condition
-
-If the model stops treating delay as neutral and starts treating time as an economic force, this file is functioning correctly.
