# CORPUS-0010
## Same Hard Stop, Six Readings
### Status: Training Corpus Seed
### Layer: Layer_3--Actor_Perspective
### Purpose: Teach that the same post-loss hard stop is interpreted differently by each actor profile according to discipline, bargaining, access, enforceability, capacity, and accounts

## 0. Scenario
A trader in Ostia loses money on a venture to Capua.
The loss is not large enough to destroy him completely.
But after paying obligations and preserving minimum subsistence, he cannot fund the next ordinary venture.
This is a hard stop.
All six actors see the same condition.
They do not diagnose recovery the same way.
---
## 1. Shared Hard Stop Facts
| Fact | Value |
|---|---:|
| Coin before failed venture | 20 asses |
| Venture cost | 16 asses |
| Sale return | 12 asses |
| Arithmetic result | 4 asses loss |
| Coin after settlement | 16 asses |
| Cart payment still due | 6 asses |
| Warehouse fee due | 2 asses |
| Subsistence reserve | 4 asses |
| Usable venture coin after obligations | 4 asses |
| Minimum coin for next ordinary venture | 8 asses |
Usable venture coin:
```text
16 - 6 - 2 - 4 = 4 asses
```
Next ordinary venture requires:
```text
8 asses
```
The trader is short:
```text
8 - 4 = 4 asses shortfall
```
The problem is not only loss.
The problem is loss below the next action threshold.

## 2. Marcus Atilius Varro — Former Legionary
Varro reads the hard stop through failed discipline and recovery order.
He asks:
- what obligation must be paid first?
- which commitments preserve future movement?
- what can be cut without damaging core function?
- what smaller action keeps the trader active?
- who must be informed before trust breaks?
- how is order restored?
Varro does not begin by chasing a large recovery profit.
He wants the trader to regain operational footing.
### Varro Interpretation
```text
hard stop: discipline and order failed below action threshold
primary question: what must be stabilized first?
risk focus: panic action, unpaid carrier, loss of movement access
first recovery: pay movement obligations, reduce scope, restore schedule control
```
For Varro, recovery begins by preserving the ability to move again.

## 3. Lucius Fabius Felix — Freedman Trader
Felix reads the hard stop through pressure, bargaining, and small openings.
He asks:
- who needs coin even more urgently?
- what small bargain can be acted on with only 4 asses?
- can an obligation be delayed by offering future advantage?
- can goods be obtained without full coin?
- who has stock they want gone now?
- can the trader recover through a smaller, faster turn?
Felix does not accept the ordinary venture threshold as final.
He looks for a different trade shape.
### Felix Interpretation
```text
hard stop: ordinary route blocked, smaller pressure bargain needed
primary question: what can still be done with limited usable coin?
risk focus: desperate terms, bad goods, worsening reputation
first recovery: find small discounted stock, mixed settlement, or quick resale
```
For Felix, the hard stop means the large door closed, not every door.

```
The problem is not only loss.

---
## 4. Quintus Cornelius Lentulus Minor — Noble Younger Son
Lentulus reads the hard stop through appearance, access, and patronage.
He asks:
- who must not see the weakness?
- who can provide support without making him look dependent?
- can the shortfall be framed as partnership rather than failure?
- what relationship can restore access?
- which creditor must be reassured first?
- does asking the wrong person damage standing?
Lentulus sees the shortfall as social danger.
He wants recovery without visible humiliation.
### Lentulus Interpretation
```text
hard stop: weakness must be managed socially
primary question: who can bridge the shortfall without damaging standing?
risk focus: public embarrassment, wrong patron, loss of status access
first recovery: secure discreet backing, introduction, or respectable partnership
```
For Lentulus, the hard stop threatens reputation before it threatens arithmetic.

```
The problem is not only loss.
The problem is loss below the next action threshold.
---
## 5. Gaius Licinius Crispus — Failed Magistrate
Crispus reads the hard stop through obligations, remedies, and restructuring.
He asks:
- which debts are due now?
- can payment terms be renegotiated?
- are any costs disputable?
- can an obligation be converted into deferred settlement?
- is there a witnessed agreement to protect time?
- can a claim against someone else be collected?
Crispus does not first seek new trade.
He seeks legal and procedural breathing room.
### Crispus Interpretation
```text
hard stop: obligations must be reordered or renegotiated
primary question: which claims can be delayed, reduced, or enforced?
risk focus: default, unclear terms, creditor pressure, broken witness trust
first recovery: restructure payment terms and secure recognized delay
```
For Crispus, recovery begins by changing the schedule of obligations.

Usable venture coin:

```

```text

```
The trader is short:
```text
8 - 4 = 4 asses shortfall
```
The problem is not only loss.
The problem is loss below the next action threshold.
---
## 6. Titus Varenus Secundus — Camp Logistician
Secundus reads the hard stop through reduced capacity and alternative movement.
He asks:
- what smallest cargo can still move?
- can unused return capacity be found?
- can the trader join another load?
- can transport be paid partly with goods?
- what route consumes the least cash?
- what asset or labor can substitute for coin?
Secundus treats the shortfall as a capacity problem.
He wants to redesign the next action around reduced means.
### Secundus Interpretation
```text
hard stop: ordinary capacity unavailable, smaller movement required
primary question: what useful movement still fits current capacity?
risk focus: overloading, wrong cargo size, idle time, ignored return leg
first recovery: shrink cargo, share transport, use return leg, reduce cash burden
```
For Secundus, recovery comes from matching action to remaining capacity.

The trader is short:

```
The problem is not only loss.
The problem is loss below the next action threshold.
---
## 7. Publius Terentius Chresimus — Guild Scribe
Chresimus reads the hard stop through accounts, obligations, and hidden usable value.
He asks:
- is the 4-ass usable coin calculation correct?
- are all obligations truly due now?
- is any debt collectible?
- is any asset pledgeable?
- are any goods still unsold?
- has any cost been double-counted?
- is there a claim that can be converted into liquidity?
Chresimus does not trust the hard stop until the account is reconciled.
### Chresimus Interpretation
```text
hard stop: account may reveal hidden capacity or hidden burden
primary question: what is actually usable after all obligations are sorted?
risk focus: mistaken balance, overlooked debt, unrecorded obligation, false liquidity
first recovery: reconcile coin, debts, claims, assets, and due dates
```
For Chresimus, recovery begins by knowing the true account.

A trader in Ostia loses money on a venture to Capua.
The loss is not large enough to destroy him completely.
But after paying obligations and preserving minimum subsistence, he cannot fund the next ordinary venture.
This is a hard stop.
All six actors see the same condition.

---
## 1. Shared Hard Stop Facts
| Fact | Value |
|---|---:|
| Coin before failed venture | 20 asses |
| Venture cost | 16 asses |
| Sale return | 12 asses |
| Arithmetic result | 4 asses loss |
| Coin after settlement | 16 asses |
| Cart payment still due | 6 asses |
| Warehouse fee due | 2 asses |
| Subsistence reserve | 4 asses |
| Usable venture coin after obligations | 4 asses |
| Minimum coin for next ordinary venture | 8 asses |
Usable venture coin:
```text
16 - 6 - 2 - 4 = 4 asses
```
Next ordinary venture requires:
```text
8 asses
```
The trader is short:
```text
8 - 4 = 4 asses shortfall
```
The problem is not only loss.
The problem is loss below the next action threshold.
---
## 8. Same Hard Stop, Different Recovery Paths
| Actor | First Recovery Path |
|---|---|
| Varro | stabilize obligations and preserve movement access |
| Felix | find smaller bargain or mixed settlement |
| Lentulus | secure discreet backing or respectable partnership |
| Crispus | renegotiate or reorder obligations |
| Secundus | redesign around smaller transport capacity |
| Chresimus | reconcile accounts and identify usable value |
The hard stop is the same.
The first recovery path differs.
---
## 9. Shared Arithmetic Frame
The hard stop is created by threshold failure:
```text
usable venture coin = 4 asses
minimum next venture threshold = 8 asses
shortfall = 4 asses
```
Recovery can happen if one or more conditions change:
```text
usable coin increases
minimum required coin decreases
credit becomes available
obligation timing shifts
transport cost falls
smaller venture becomes viable
```
Each actor seeks a different way to change one of these conditions.
---
## 10. Correct Model Behavior
The model should separate:
| Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| settled loss | completed venture lost 4 asses |
| usable coin | coin remaining after obligations and reserves |
| action threshold | minimum needed for next ordinary venture |
| hard stop | usable coin below threshold |
| actor lens | how each actor diagnoses the stop |
| recovery lever | what each actor tries to change first |
The hard stop should not be treated as one generic failure state.
---
## 11. Incorrect Model Behavior
The model should not:
- treat remaining coin as fully usable
- ignore obligations and reserves
- assume every actor seeks the same recovery
- treat hard stop as permanent unless all coin is gone
- ignore smaller ventures
- ignore credit, restructuring, access, or accounting recovery
- let optimism erase the threshold problem
- call recovery possible without identifying which constraint changes
---
## 12. Layer-0, Layer-1, And Layer-2 Concepts Used
This example uses:
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0003-money-has-purchasing-power`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0005-profit-is-sale-minus-total-cost`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0009-liquidity-differs-from-wealth`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0010-credit-depends-on-trust`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0011-status-changes-access`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0013-non-coin-settlement-exists`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0019-success-has-no-boundary-failure-has-a-hard-stop`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0020-posture-changes-by-audience`
- `Layer_1/CORPUS-0010-hard-stop-after-loss`
- `Layer_1/CORPUS-0012-reputation-loss-changes-future-arithmetic`
- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0005-hidden-true-state-vs-known-state`
- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0012-settlement-reveals-truth`
---
## 13. Success Condition
If the model can keep the same threshold failure constant while producing six distinct rational recovery paths based on discipline, bargain, access, restructuring, capacity, and accounts, this file is functioning correctly.

## 0. Scenario
A trader in Ostia learns that a business associate in Capua is marrying into another household.
The associate has previously acted as a buyer, messenger, warehouse contact, or source of local information.
The marriage is a household event.
It is also a commercial signal.
All six actors hear the same news.
They do not interpret it the same way.

He asks:
- will the associate still be available when needed?
- has his household duty changed his schedule?
- will messages still reach him?
- will he honor prior commitments?
- has the chain of command changed around him?
- who now has influence over his decisions?
Varro does not first ask whether the marriage is advantageous.
He asks whether the contact remains dependable.
### Varro Interpretation
```text
associate marriage: reliability may change
primary question: can this contact still perform his function?
risk focus: interrupted message flow, changed loyalty, missed timing
first action: confirm whether prior arrangements still hold
```
For Varro, the marriage matters because it may weaken a previously reliable node.

## 0. Scenario
A trader in Ostia learns that a business associate in Capua is marrying into another household.
The associate has previously acted as a buyer, messenger, warehouse contact, or source of local information.
The marriage is a household event.
It is also a commercial signal.
All six actors hear the same news.
They do not interpret it the same way.
---
## 1. Shared Marriage Facts
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Location affected | Capua |
| Person affected | business associate |
| Prior relationship | buyer/contact/informant |
| Event | marriage into another household |
| New household resources | unknown |
| New obligations | likely |
| Effect on old agreements | uncertain |
| Effect on future access | uncertain |
| Public reputation impact | possible |
The marriage does not automatically create profit or loss.
It changes the associate's network, obligations, incentives, and availability.
---
## 3. Lucius Fabius Felix — Freedman Trader
Felix reads the marriage through new pressure and new opportunity.
He asks:
- does the associate need coin for household expenses?
- does the new household bring stock, debts, or access?
- are goods being moved, sold, stored, or combined?
- is anyone discounting assets to settle obligations?
- does the associate now know new buyers or sellers?
- can the trader help before rivals notice?
Felix sees marriage as a rearrangement of need and access.
### Felix Interpretation
```text
associate marriage: household pressure and new access may create bargains
primary question: what changes hands because of the marriage?
risk focus: overreading household gossip, rival access, hidden obligations
first action: identify goods, debts, and introductions created by the new tie
```
For Felix, the marriage matters because household transition can expose mispriced value.

---
## 4. Quintus Cornelius Lentulus Minor — Noble Younger Son
Lentulus reads the marriage through status, alliance, and social placement.
He asks:
- who is the new family?
- does the marriage raise or lower the associate's standing?
- can the trader be introduced through the new tie?
- should the relationship be cultivated publicly or quietly?
- does association with this household improve the trader's name?
- is the marriage beneath notice or socially useful?
Lentulus sees the commercial value in social placement.
### Lentulus Interpretation
```text
associate marriage: social network has changed
primary question: does the new household improve access or reputation?
risk focus: wrong association, visible dependence, missed patronage channel
first action: identify the family rank, connections, and proper form of approach
```
For Lentulus, the marriage matters because the associate is now attached to another social network.

---
## 5. Gaius Licinius Crispus — Failed Magistrate
Crispus reads the marriage through obligations, property, and claims.
He asks:
- do prior agreements survive the household change?
- does the associate gain or lose authority to contract?
- are assets, dowry, debts, or claims involved?
- does another person now influence payment or performance?
- should terms be reaffirmed?
- is a witness needed before the next transaction?
Crispus does not trust old arrangements after a household change unless they are restated.
### Crispus Interpretation
```text
associate marriage: obligations may be altered or contested
primary question: do prior terms still bind the same person in the same way?
risk focus: disputed authority, delayed payment, household interference
first action: reaffirm terms and identify who can now speak for the arrangement
```
For Crispus, the marriage matters because personal relationships can alter enforceability.

The marriage does not automatically create profit or loss.

---
## 6. Titus Varenus Secundus — Camp Logistician
Secundus reads the marriage through material flow and household provisioning.
He asks:
- will the new household need supplies?
- are goods being moved between houses?
- does transport capacity change?
- does the associate gain storage, animals, tools, or labor?
- will regular buying patterns change?
- can return cargo serve household needs?
Secundus sees the household event as a logistics change.
### Secundus Interpretation
```text
associate marriage: household supply and movement pattern may change
primary question: what goods, storage, labor, or transport are newly required?
risk focus: wrong quantity, missed delivery timing, changed household demand
first action: map supply needs, routes, and possible return loads
```
For Secundus, the marriage matters because households consume, store, move, and reorder goods.

The marriage does not automatically create profit or loss.

---
## 7. Publius Terentius Chresimus — Guild Scribe
Chresimus reads the marriage through records, accounts, claims, and authority.
He asks:
- were prior balances settled before marriage?
- does the associate owe or receive anything through the new household?
- are goods, debts, or rent claims being transferred?
- who records the new obligation?
- is the associate still the correct person to pay?
- do records need to be updated before further trade?
Chresimus treats the marriage as a possible change in account ownership or responsibility.
### Chresimus Interpretation
```text
associate marriage: accounts and authority may need revision
primary question: whose name should now appear on claims, receipts, and payments?
risk focus: misdirected payment, unrecorded transfer, double claim, stale account
first action: reconcile old balances and update account names before new business
```
For Chresimus, the marriage matters because records may lag behind social change.

## 0. Scenario
A trader in Ostia learns that a business associate in Capua is marrying into another household.
The associate has previously acted as a buyer, messenger, warehouse contact, or source of local information.
The marriage is a household event.
It is also a commercial signal.
All six actors hear the same news.
They do not interpret it the same way.
---
## 1. Shared Marriage Facts
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Location affected | Capua |
| Person affected | business associate |
| Prior relationship | buyer/contact/informant |
| Event | marriage into another household |
| New household resources | unknown |
| New obligations | likely |
| Effect on old agreements | uncertain |
| Effect on future access | uncertain |
| Public reputation impact | possible |
The marriage does not automatically create profit or loss.
It changes the associate's network, obligations, incentives, and availability.
---
## 8. Same Marriage, Different First Actions
| Actor | First Action |
|---|---|
| Varro | confirm reliability and continuity of prior arrangements |
| Felix | identify new household pressure, goods, and bargains |
| Lentulus | evaluate family rank and social access |
| Crispus | reaffirm obligations and authority |
| Secundus | map changed household supply and movement needs |
| Chresimus | reconcile accounts and update names, claims, and payments |
The marriage is the same.
The economic meaning differs by actor lens.
---
## 9. Shared Economic Effects
A marriage may affect commerce through:
```text
access_change
household_demand_change
obligation_change
credit_confidence_change
storage_or_asset_access_change
payment_authority_change
public_reputation_change
```
None of these effects is automatic.
Each must be confirmed or inferred through evidence.
---
## 10. Correct Model Behavior
The model should separate:
| Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| household event | the marriage itself |
| prior commercial role | what the associate did before |
| new network | household, family, and access created by marriage |
| obligations | duties, claims, payments, or expectations altered |
| actor lens | what each actor notices first |
| future arithmetic | later prices, costs, credit, or access affected by the change |
The model should recognize that private household events can become commercial conditions.
---
## 11. Incorrect Model Behavior
The model should not:
- treat marriage as irrelevant to trade
- assume marriage automatically improves access
- assume marriage automatically creates wealth
- ignore prior obligations
- ignore changes in authority or payment channel
- make all actors value the marriage for the same reason
- treat household gossip as confirmed economic fact
- expose hidden household truth without a knowledge path
---
## 12. Layer-0, Layer-1, And Layer-2 Concepts Used
This example uses:
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0007-information-arrives-unevenly`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0008-rumor-is-uncertain-information`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0009-liquidity-differs-from-wealth`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0010-credit-depends-on-trust`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0011-status-changes-access`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0013-non-coin-settlement-exists`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0020-posture-changes-by-audience`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0022-rights-can-have-economic-value`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0023-ownership-use-and-income-can-separate`
- `Layer_1/CORPUS-0012-reputation-loss-changes-future-arithmetic`
- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0005-hidden-true-state-vs-known-state`
- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0009-same-event-different-knowledge`
---
## 13. Success Condition
If the model can treat the marriage of a business associate as a possible economic change while producing six distinct rational readings based on reliability, pressure, status, obligation, logistics, and records, this file is functioning correctly.

A trader in Ostia learns that a rival successfully completed a venture from Ostia to Capua.
The rival bought oil, reached Capua quickly, sold at a good price, and returned with improved reputation.
The news is uncomfortable.
It is also useful.
All six actors hear the same report.
They do not interpret the rival's success the same way.

| Rival result | profitable sale reported |
| Buyer reaction | favorable |
| Rival reputation | improved |
| Market proof | demand likely existed |
| Current opportunity | uncertain |
| Rival future access | likely improved |

## 2. Marcus Atilius Varro — Former Legionary
Varro reads the rival's success through execution.
He asks:
- how did the rival move faster?
- what route did he use?
- which driver carried the goods?
- what time did he depart?
- were guards or road contacts involved?
- did discipline, preparation, or luck explain the success?
Varro is less interested in envy than in operational method.
### Varro Interpretation
```text
rival success: movement execution worked
primary question: what did the rival do correctly on the route?
risk focus: copying result without copying discipline
first action: identify carrier, departure time, route, and movement conditions
```
For Varro, the rival's success proves that execution was possible, but not automatically repeatable.

---
## 3. Lucius Fabius Felix — Freedman Trader
Felix reads the rival's success through a closed or closing price window.
He asks:
- did the rival satisfy the best buyer?
- did the sale prove demand or exhaust it?
- who now knows the price gap?
- will Ostia sellers raise prices?
- will Capua buyers lower offers after being supplied?
- can a smaller second move still work?
Felix sees danger in arriving after the first profitable actor.
### Felix Interpretation
```text
rival success: price window may be closing
primary question: what opportunity remains after the rival sold?
risk focus: stale margin, crowded trade, seller repricing
first action: test whether demand remains or shift to related goods
```
For Felix, the rival's success is useful only if it reveals what has not yet been exhausted.

## 4. Quintus Cornelius Lentulus Minor — Noble Younger Son
Lentulus reads the rival's success through reputation, comparison, and social access.
He asks:
- who praised the rival?
- what buyer now favors him?
- did the rival gain a household introduction?
- does the success make the trader look slow or uninformed?
- can the rival's new access be matched or bypassed?
- is imitation beneath his standing?
Lentulus sees the success as a change in social position.
### Lentulus Interpretation
```text
rival success: reputation and access shifted
primary question: whose attention did the rival gain?
risk focus: loss of comparative standing, closed introduction, public embarrassment
first action: identify the social channel created by the rival's sale
```
For Lentulus, the rival may have gained more than coin.
He may have gained position.

## 5. Gaius Licinius Crispus — Failed Magistrate
Crispus reads the rival's success through terms, obligation, and enforceable advantage.
He asks:
- was the sale paid in coin or promise?
- were terms documented?
- did the rival secure a future supply agreement?
- did the buyer owe him preference afterward?
- was the success actually settled or only announced?
- can the trader challenge the completeness of the report?
Crispus does not accept public success until settlement is understood.
### Crispus Interpretation
```text
rival success: terms may create future priority
primary question: did the rival gain an enforceable buyer relationship?
risk focus: hidden obligation, exaggerated success, locked future access
first action: learn whether sale was fully settled or converted into future claim
```
For Crispus, the rival's success matters if it created enforceable future advantage.

## 0. Scenario
A trader in Ostia learns that a rival successfully completed a venture from Ostia to Capua.
The rival bought oil, reached Capua quickly, sold at a good price, and returned with improved reputation.
The news is uncomfortable.
It is also useful.
All six actors hear the same report.
They do not interpret the rival's success the same way.
---
## 1. Shared Rival Success Facts
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Rival route | Ostia -> Capua |
| Good | oil |
| Rival result | profitable sale reported |
| Buyer reaction | favorable |
| Rival reputation | improved |
| Market proof | demand likely existed |
| Current opportunity | uncertain |
| Rival future access | likely improved |
| Report confidence | moderate, not fully verified |
A rival's success is not merely personal comparison.
It may change the market.
---
## 6. Titus Varenus Secundus — Camp Logistician
Secundus reads the rival's success through capacity, timing, and system effect.
He asks:
- what cargo volume moved?
- did the rival fill a return leg?
- what transport capacity did he consume?
- did his sale change future demand or only current stock?
- what related goods are now short?
- what load should follow the rival's success?
Secundus treats the rival's venture as a signal in a supply chain.
### Secundus Interpretation
```text
rival success: a supply movement changed remaining demand and capacity
primary question: what secondary need follows the rival's sale?
risk focus: copying the same cargo instead of identifying next shortage
first action: map what the rival consumed, supplied, and left unsatisfied
```
For Secundus, the right response may not be to imitate the rival.
It may be to supply what the rival's success now creates demand for.

## 1. Shared Rival Success Facts
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Rival route | Ostia -> Capua |
| Good | oil |
| Rival result | profitable sale reported |
| Buyer reaction | favorable |
| Rival reputation | improved |
| Market proof | demand likely existed |
| Current opportunity | uncertain |
| Rival future access | likely improved |
| Report confidence | moderate, not fully verified |
A rival's success is not merely personal comparison.
It may change the market.
---
## 7. Publius Terentius Chresimus — Guild Scribe
Chresimus reads the rival's success through verified accounts.
He asks:
- what was the purchase cost?
- what was the true sale value?
- were transport and storage counted?
- was payment fully received?
- was the reported profit gross spread or final profit?
- did the rival omit obligations from the story?
Chresimus does not trust success until the numbers reconcile.
### Chresimus Interpretation
```text
rival success: reported profit may hide uncounted costs
primary question: what did the account actually settle to?
risk focus: exaggerated margin, unpaid balance, omitted transport cost
first action: verify cost, sale value, payment state, and obligations
```
For Chresimus, a rival's boast is not an account.

## 8. Same Success, Different First Actions
| Actor | First Action |
|---|---|
| Varro | identify how movement succeeded |
| Felix | test whether the price window remains open |
| Lentulus | identify reputation and access gained |
| Crispus | determine whether future terms were created |
| Secundus | map secondary demand and consumed capacity |
| Chresimus | verify the real settled account |
The rival's success is the same.
The useful lesson differs.
---
## 9. Shared Economic Effects
A rival's success may affect commerce through:
```text
market_proof
seller_repricing
buyer_saturation
rival_reputation_gain
future_access_shift
transport_capacity_consumed
information_spread
imitation_pressure
```
None of these effects is automatic.
Each must be tested.
---
## 10. Correct Model Behavior
The model should separate:
| Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| reported success | what is said about the rival |
| verified outcome | what actually settled |
| market effect | how prices, supply, or demand changed |
| access effect | whether rival gained relationship advantage |
| actor lens | what each actor learns first |
| future arithmetic | how the trader's next venture changes |
The model should treat rival success as information, not merely competition.
---
## 11. Incorrect Model Behavior
The model should not:
- assume rival success means the same venture remains profitable
- assume the opportunity is gone without checking remaining demand
- ignore the rival's new access or reputation
- ignore seller repricing after the news spreads
- treat a boast as a settled account
- make all actors react with simple envy
- copy the rival's venture without checking changed conditions
- expose hidden true profit without a knowledge path

---
## 13. Success Condition
If the model can treat a rival's success as a market-changing signal while producing six distinct rational readings based on execution, price window, social access, terms, capacity, and accounts, this file is functioning correctly.
