-### Status: Training Corpus Seed
-### Layer: Layer_0--Primitive_Facts

-## 0. Principle
-
-A bargain often appears because one party is under pressure.
-
-A seller may accept less than expected because he needs:
-
-- coin now
-- storage cleared
-- debt settled
-- goods moved before spoilage
-- transport capacity freed
-- a buyer before news changes
-- a dispute avoided
-
-A buyer may accept worse terms because he needs goods quickly.
-
-Opportunity often comes from pressure, not from generosity.
-

-
-## 1. Roman-Visible Example
-
-A trader sees a warehouse owner offering oil below the usual local price.
-
-The oil may not be poor quality.
-
-The owner may simply need space cleared before a grain shipment arrives.
-
-The low price comes from pressure:
-
-- storage pressure
-- timing pressure
-- incoming cargo
-- need for ready coin
-
-The bargain is lawful, but it exists because conditions changed.
-
----
-
-## 2. Minimal Bargain Structure
-
-An opportunistic bargain requires at least:
-
-1. one party under pressure
-2. an asset, good, service, or claim
-3. a time limit or constraint
-4. another party able to act
-5. terms different from ordinary conditions
-6. risk that the apparent bargain has hidden cost
-
-Not every low price is a good bargain.
-
-The pressure that creates opportunity may also reveal danger.
-
----
-
-## 3. Incorrect Modern Assumption
-
-Incorrect assumption:
-
-> A low price always means a good deal.
-
-Correction:
-
-> A low price may reflect pressure, but the trader must ask what caused that pressure and whether the cost has merely moved somewhere else.
-
-A low price may hide storage cost, bad title, urgent spoilage, poor quality, or delayed payment risk.
-
----
-
-## 4. Simulation Use
-
-This principle supports:
-
-- distressed selling
-- storage pressure
-- timing windows
-- quick liquidity needs
-- bargaining
-- price deviation
-- hidden risk
-- actor interpretation
-- route timing
-
-The model should not treat every bargain as random discount.
-
-A bargain should emerge from a condition.
-
----
-
-## 5. Canonical Test
-
-If the model sees:
-
-> The seller offers oil below the usual price.
-
-It must ask:
-
-- why is the seller under pressure?
-- what deadline exists?
-- is the quality sound?
-- is ownership clear?
-- are storage costs rising?
-- does the seller need coin immediately?
-- what hidden cost may transfer to the buyer?
-- how long will the bargain remain available?
-
-Only then can the bargain be judged.
-

-
-## 6. Success Condition
-
-If the model stops treating bargains as simple discounts and starts identifying the pressure that created the bargain, this file is functioning correctly.
