# CORPUS-0013
## Same Lost Buyer, Six Readings
### Status: Training Corpus Seed
### Layer: Layer_3--Actor_Perspective
### Purpose: Teach that losing a buyer can alter future arithmetic, access, trust, timing, and recovery differently for each actor profile
### Repository Path: docs/training/corpus/Layer_3--Actor_Perspective/CORPUS-0013-same-lost-buyer-six-readings.md

## 0. Scenario
A trader in Ostia learns that a regular buyer in Capua will no longer buy from him.
The reason is not fully known.
The buyer may have found another supplier, lost liquidity, changed household demand, lost trust, shifted allegiance, or satisfied the need elsewhere.
All six actors hear the same news.
They do not interpret the loss the same way.
---
## 1. Shared Lost Buyer Facts
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Buyer location | Capua |
| Prior role | regular buyer/contact |
| Goods previously bought | oil and small imported goods |
| Prior expected sale value | 24 asses |
| Current buyer status | no longer buying |
| Reason | uncertain |
| Replacement buyer | unknown |
| Effect on route | likely negative |
| Future access | uncertain |
The buyer was not merely a price.
The buyer was an access point, settlement path, and source of future confidence.
---
## 2. Basic Arithmetic Effect
Before buyer loss:
```text
expected sale value = 24 asses
purchase and movement cost = 18 asses
expected profit = 6 asses
```
After buyer loss, if the trader must sell to a weaker buyer:
```text
sale value = 19 asses
purchase and movement cost = 18 asses
expected profit = 1 as
```
If no replacement buyer is found:
```text
sale value = unknown
purchase and movement cost = 18 asses
venture cannot be evaluated safely
```
Losing a buyer changes future arithmetic by reducing certainty, sale value, timing, and confidence.

## 3. Marcus Atilius Varro — Former Legionary
Varro reads the lost buyer through reliability and route planning.
He asks:
- when did the buyer stop being reliable?
- can the route still justify movement?
- is there a replacement receiving point?
- who receives the cargo if the original buyer refuses?
- does sending goods without a receiving plan create disorder?
- should movement halt until a new endpoint is confirmed?
Varro sees the buyer as the destination node of the operation.
### Varro Interpretation
```text
lost buyer: receiving point failed
primary question: where can goods be delivered reliably now?
risk focus: goods arriving without controlled settlement
first action: confirm replacement endpoint before dispatch
```
For Varro, a route without a dependable receiver is not ready for movement.

## 4. Lucius Fabius Felix — Freedman Trader
Felix reads the lost buyer through changed bargaining and possible hidden reason.
He asks:
- who captured the buyer?
- did the buyer find cheaper goods?
- is the buyer truly gone, or only bargaining?
- does the buyer's refusal reveal a lower price elsewhere?
- can another buyer be found among those ignored before?
- can the old buyer be won back with different terms?
Felix treats the loss as information about price and pressure.
### Felix Interpretation
```text
lost buyer: price or relationship changed
primary question: who now holds the buyer's demand?
risk focus: chasing a buyer who is using refusal as leverage
first action: identify whether the loss is real, temporary, or a bargaining posture
```
For Felix, losing the buyer may reveal a new price floor, rival move, or hidden opening.

## 5. Quintus Cornelius Lentulus Minor — Noble Younger Son
Lentulus reads the lost buyer through reputation and social channel.
He asks:
- why did the buyer withdraw?
- who advised him?
- does the buyer now favor another household?
- does this loss damage the trader's name?
- can a higher-status introduction replace the buyer?
- should the relationship be repaired privately to avoid public embarrassment?
Lentulus sees buyer loss as a possible reputational signal.
### Lentulus Interpretation
```text
lost buyer: social access may have shifted
primary question: whose influence redirected the buyer?
risk focus: visible rejection, status decline, rival gaining prestige
first action: identify the social cause and seek a better introduction
```
For Lentulus, the buyer matters because public rejection may close other doors.
---
## 6. Gaius Licinius Crispus — Failed Magistrate
Crispus reads the lost buyer through obligations and prior terms.
He asks:
- was the buyer obligated to purchase?
- was any agreement witnessed?
- did the buyer give notice properly?
- did the trader rely on promised purchase?
- are damages, deposits, or claims possible?
- can a settlement be negotiated?
Crispus does not treat buyer loss only as market disappointment.
He asks whether any enforceable expectation was broken.
### Crispus Interpretation
```text
lost buyer: prior obligation may have failed
primary question: was there a binding commitment or only expectation?
risk focus: unenforceable reliance, lost deposit, weak witness
first action: identify terms, witnesses, deposits, and remedy options
```
For Crispus, a lost buyer matters differently if the buyer merely changed preference or broke a commitment.
---
## 7. Titus Varenus Secundus — Camp Logistician
Secundus reads the lost buyer through flow, replacement demand, and cargo planning.
He asks:
- what volume did the buyer usually absorb?
- can the same goods be redirected elsewhere?
- can cargo be split among smaller buyers?
- should shipment size be reduced?
- can return cargo still be arranged?
- what goods does Capua need instead?
Secundus treats buyer loss as a capacity and distribution problem.
### Secundus Interpretation
```text
lost buyer: demand capacity disappeared or moved
primary question: where can the same volume be absorbed now?
risk focus: overloading route with unsold cargo
first action: reduce cargo size or map alternate buyers before movement
```
For Secundus, the problem is not only price. It is whether the route can still absorb the load.
---
## 8. Publius Terentius Chresimus — Guild Scribe
Chresimus reads the lost buyer through accounts, balances, and payment history.
He asks:
- did the buyer owe anything?
- were prior payments clean?
- is there an unpaid balance hidden behind the refusal?
- were quantities disputed before?
- does the account show trust decline?
- should the buyer be marked unreliable or merely inactive?
Chresimus wants to know whether the loss was already visible in the records.
### Chresimus Interpretation
```text
lost buyer: account relationship changed
primary question: what do prior payments, disputes, and balances reveal?
risk focus: unpaid balance, stale claim, false assumption of buyer reliability
first action: reconcile buyer account before deciding whether to repair or replace
```
For Chresimus, a buyer is not lost only when he says no. The account may have been weakening earlier.
---
## 9. Same Lost Buyer, Different First Actions
| Actor | First Action |
|---|---|
| Varro | confirm a reliable receiving endpoint |
| Felix | determine whether refusal is real, bargaining, or rival capture |
| Lentulus | identify the social cause and repair or replace access |
| Crispus | examine whether a commitment was broken |
| Secundus | reduce shipment or map alternate demand capacity |
| Chresimus | reconcile buyer account and payment history |
The buyer loss is the same.
The recovery path differs.
---
## 10. Correct Model Behavior
The model should separate:
| Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| buyer_status | no longer buying |
| known_reason | what is actually known about why |
| hidden_reason | true cause if not yet known |
| arithmetic effect | lower or uncertain sale value |
| access effect | destination relationship weakened |
| actor lens | how each actor diagnoses the loss |
| recovery path | how each actor seeks replacement or repair |
A buyer is an economic relationship, not just a sale price.
---
## 11. Incorrect Model Behavior
The model should not:
- treat a lost buyer as only a lower sale price
- assume the reason is known without evidence
- ignore rival capture
- ignore reputation effects
- ignore prior obligations or deposits
- ignore alternate buyers or reduced cargo
- make all actors seek the same replacement
- keep old route arithmetic after the buyer disappears

## 12. Layer-0, Layer-1, And Layer-2 Concepts Used
This example uses:
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0002-goods-have-local-prices`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0005-profit-is-sale-minus-total-cost`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0007-information-arrives-unevenly`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0010-credit-depends-on-trust`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0011-status-changes-access`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0012-every-venture-risks-loss`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0018-rivalry-changes-conditions`
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0020-posture-changes-by-audience`
- `Layer_1/CORPUS-0012-reputation-loss-changes-future-arithmetic`
- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0005-hidden-true-state-vs-known-state`
- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0010-information-can-be-withheld`
- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0012-settlement-reveals-truth`
---
## 13. Success Condition
If the model can treat loss of a buyer as a change in access, confidence, route viability, settlement path, and future arithmetic while producing six distinct rational readings, this file is functioning correctly.
