-## 0. Principle
-
-Some apparent gains come from unlawful, disputed, or concealed sources.
-
-Such gains may appear valuable in the short term, but they carry system risk.
-
-Risk may include:
-
-- disputed ownership
-- legal claim
-- failed resale
-- loss of trust
-- reputational damage
-- official attention
-- retaliation by injured parties
-- inability to prove clean title
-- contamination of future dealings
-
-The simulation should recognize unlawful gains as unstable value, not as ordinary profit.
-
----
-
-## 1. Roman-Visible Example
-
-A trader is offered goods below the normal price.
-
-The seller cannot explain clearly where the goods came from.
-
-The goods may be useful.  
-The price may be attractive.
-
-But the low price may indicate that the goods are disputed, concealed, misdeclared, or unlawfully obtained.
-
-If the trader accepts them, he may gain stock.
-
-He may also inherit the problem attached to the stock.
-
----
-
-## 2. Minimal Risk Structure
-
-Unlawful or disputed gain requires at least:
-
-1. apparent value
-2. unclear or improper source
-3. party receiving or considering the value
-4. possible claimant or injured party
-5. chance of exposure
-6. legal or social consequence
-7. effect on future trust
-
-The good is not evaluated only by market price.
-
-It must also be evaluated by title, proof, and consequence.
-
----
-
-## 3. Incorrect Modern Assumption
-
-Incorrect assumption:
-
-> A cheap good is valuable if it can be sold.
-
-Correction:
-
-> A cheap good may be dangerous if ownership is disputed, origin is concealed, or later claims can follow it.
-
-Apparent gain can become loss if the actor cannot safely hold, sell, or defend the value.
-
----
-
-## 4. Simulation Use
-
-This principle supports:
-
-- disputed goods
-- unclear title
-- false declarations
-- concealed origin
-- reputational risk
-- legal exposure
-- market refusal
-- relationship damage
-- enforcement uncertainty
-
-The model should not treat unlawful gain as normal profit.
-
-It should treat it as value with attached risk.
-
----
-
-## 5. Canonical Test
-
-If the model sees:
-
-> The trader can buy goods far below normal price.
-
-It must ask:
-
-- why is the price low?
-- is the seller entitled to sell?
-- can ownership be challenged?
-- is the origin clear?
-- who may object later?
-- will other buyers accept the goods?
-- what happens to reputation if the connection becomes known?
-- does the apparent gain create future exposure?
-
-Only then can the opportunity be evaluated.
-
----
-
-## 6. Safety Framing
-
-This file is descriptive, not prescriptive.
-
-It exists because historical economies included disputed goods, concealed origin, false declaration, and unlawful transfer.
-
-The simulation should model these as risk-bearing conditions, not as recommended actions.
-
-No implementation should reward unlawful gain without also modeling exposure, consequence, and loss of trust.
-
----
-
-## 7. Success Condition
-
-If the model stops treating unlawful or disputed value as simple profit and starts attaching title risk, enforcement risk, and reputational cost, this file is functioning correctly.
