Scenario - -A trader in Ostia sends oil to Capua. - -The venture fails. - -The failure is not only a negative number in the account. - -The loss leaves the trader unable to begin the next venture because his usable capacity has fallen below the minimum required to act. - -This is a hard stop. - ---- - -## 1. Starting Condition - -| Item | Value | -|---|---:| -| Coin stock before venture | 20 asses | -| Oil purchase price | 10 asses | -| Movement and handling cost | 6 asses | -| Reserve coin after dispatch | 4 asses | -| Minimum coin needed for next small venture | 8 asses | - -The trader begins with enough coin to attempt the venture. - -He does not have much room for failure. - ---- - -## 2. Expected Outcome - -The trader expects to sell the oil in Capua for 22 asses. - -Expected total cost: - -```text -10 + 6 = 16 asses -``` - -Expected profit: - -```text -22 - 16 = 6 asses profit -``` - -If successful, coin stock after settlement would increase. - ---- - -## 3. Failed Outcome - -The oil sells for only 12 asses because a rival shipment arrived first. - -Actual result: - -```text -sale value = 12 asses -total cost = 16 asses -loss = 4 asses -``` - -Coin position after settlement: - -```text -starting coin: 20 asses -venture cost: -16 asses -sale return: +12 asses ------------------------- -ending coin: 16 asses -``` - -The trader still has coin. - -But the hard stop may come from obligations and access, not coin alone. - ---- - -## 4. Hidden Settlement Problem - -The trader had promised payment to the cart driver after sale. - -| Obligation | Value | -|---|---:| -| Cart payment still due | 6 asses | -| Warehouse fee due | 2 asses | -| Personal subsistence reserve needed | 4 asses | - -Usable coin after required payments: - -```text -ending coin: 16 asses -cart payment due: -6 asses -warehouse fee due: -2 asses -subsistence reserve: -4 asses ---------------------------------- -usable venture coin: 4 asses -``` - -The next small venture requires 8 asses. - -The trader has only 4 usable asses. - -The system stops him from launching the next venture unless he finds credit, sells assets, reduces costs, or accepts a smaller action. - ---- - -## 5. Trust Hard Stop Variant - -Even if coin remains, trust may fail. - -If the trader delays payment to the cart driver: - -- the cart driver may refuse future service -- other drivers may hear of late payment -- transport costs may rise -- credit may tighten -- the trader may lose timing advantage - -The hard stop may be: - -```text -transport_access = unavailable -``` - -not merely: - -```text -coin_stock = low -``` - ---- - -## 6. Access Hard Stop Variant - -If the failed venture damages reputation with the Capua buyer: - -- future buyer access declines -- seller confidence declines -- deferred payment becomes unavailable -- the same route becomes less viable - -The trader may still have coin, but fewer people will transact with him. - ---- - -## 7. Correct Model Behavior - -The model should separate: - -| Category | Meaning | -|---|---| -| arithmetic loss | sale value minus total cost | -| remaining coin | coin after settlement | -| usable coin | coin after obligations and reserves | -| trust condition | whether partners still transact | -| access condition | whether route and market remain open | -| next action threshold | minimum needed to continue | - -Failure should be evaluated by whether the actor can still act. - ---- - -## 8. Incorrect Model Behavior - -The model should not: - -- treat all losses as equal -- stop analysis at the arithmetic loss -- assume remaining coin is fully usable -- ignore unpaid obligations -- ignore trust damage -- ignore minimum venture thresholds -- assume the next venture is still available -- treat failure as only a score reduction - ---- - -## 9. Recovery Paths - -A hard stop may be recoverable through: - -- smaller venture -- non-coin settlement -- credit -- asset sale -- favor from contact -- cost reduction -- delayed action -- accepting a lower-status opportunity - -Recovery is not automatic. - -The model should identify what capacity is missing. - ---- - -## 10. Layer-0 Concepts Used - -This example uses: - -- `CORPUS-0003-money-has-purchasing-power` -- `CORPUS-0004-cost-includes-more-than-purchase-price` -- `CORPUS-0005-profit-is-sale-minus-total-cost` -- `CORPUS-0006-delay-is-economic-cost` -- `CORPUS-0009-liquidity-differs-from-wealth` -- `CORPUS-0010-credit-depends-on-trust` -- `CORPUS-0012-every-venture-risks-loss` -- `CORPUS-0019-success-has-no-boundary-failure-has-a-hard-stop` - ---- - -## 11. Success Condition - -If the model sees a venture loss and asks whether liquidity, trust, access, or minimum action capacity has fallen below the threshold needed to continue, this file is functioning correctly.
