|

## Visible Signal Versus Spoken Claim
|
||||
### Status: Training Corpus Seed
|
||||
### Layer: Layer_2--Uncertainty
|
||||
### Purpose: Teach that observed signals and spoken claims are different evidence types, and that each must be evaluated by source, timing, and interpretation
|
||||
### Repository Path: docs/training/corpus/Layer_2--Uncertainty/CORPUS-0003-visible-signal-vs-spoken-claim.md

## 0. Scenario
|
||||
|
||||
A trader in Ostia hears that a warehouse has run out of oil.
|
||||
|
||||
At the same time, he sees carts leaving the warehouse loaded and sealed.
|
||||
|
||||
The spoken claim and the visible signal do not match cleanly.
|
||||
|
||||
The trader must decide whether the claim, the visible signal, or some third explanation is most useful.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Evidence Received
|
||||
|
||||
### Spoken Claim
|
||||
|
||||
A porter says:
|
||||
|
||||
> The warehouse is empty of oil.
|
||||
|
||||
### Visible Signal
|
||||
|
||||
The trader sees:
|
||||
|
||||
- three carts leaving the warehouse
|
||||
- sealed jars loaded under guard
|
||||
- the warehouse doors partly closed
|
||||
- clerks arguing near the entrance
|
||||
|
||||
The claim says shortage.
|
||||
|
||||
The signal may suggest movement, concealment, restricted access, prior sale, inspection, or reserved stock.

## 2. Known Facts
|
||||
|
||||
| Fact | Value |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Location | Ostia |
|
||||
| Good | oil |
|
||||
| Spoken claim | warehouse empty |
|
||||
| Visible signal | carts leaving with sealed jars |
|
||||
| Source of claim | porter |
|
||||
| True warehouse state | unknown |
|
||||
| Destination of carts | unknown |
|
||||
| Ownership of loaded goods | unknown |
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Why Signals Matter
|
||||
|
||||
Visible signals may be stronger than casual speech, but they are not self-explaining.
|
||||
|
||||
A cart leaving a warehouse may mean:
|
||||
|
||||
- goods are available
|
||||
- goods are already sold
|
||||
- goods are being hidden
|
||||
- goods are being moved under contract
|
||||
- goods are being removed after inspection
|
||||
- goods are being transferred to another owner
|
||||
- goods are not oil at all
|
||||
|
||||
Observation reduces uncertainty only when interpreted carefully.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Why Speech Still Matters
|
||||
|
||||
A spoken claim may be wrong, but it may contain context the eye cannot see.
|
||||
|
||||
The porter may know:
|
||||
|
||||
- which jars were oil
|
||||
- who ordered the movement
|
||||
- whether the remaining stock is spoken for
|
||||
- whether the warehouse is closed to ordinary buyers
|
||||
- whether the carts are moving damaged goods
|
||||
- whether the clerk is lying
|
||||
|
||||
Speech can explain a signal.
|
||||
|
||||
But speech may also distort it.

## 5. Incorrect Model Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
The model should not:
|
||||
|
||||
- treat visible evidence as automatically complete
|
||||
- treat spoken claims as automatically false
|
||||
- ignore who made the claim
|
||||
- ignore what the visible signal actually proves
|
||||
- assume carts leaving means stock is available
|
||||
- assume a warehouse is empty because one porter said so
|
||||
- collapse observation and interpretation into one fact
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Correct Model Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
The model should separate:
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Meaning |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| observed signal | what was directly seen |
|
||||
| spoken claim | what someone said |
|
||||
| inferred meaning | what the actor thinks it means |
|
||||
| confidence level | how reliable the interpretation is |
|
||||
| missing fact | what remains unknown |
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
observed_signal: three sealed carts left warehouse
|
||||
spoken_claim: warehouse empty of oil
|
||||
inference_options: sold_out | reserved_stock | hidden_transfer | false_claim
|
||||
confidence: unresolved
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Decision Example
|
||||
|
||||
The trader must decide whether to act.
|
||||
|
||||
Possible actions:
|
||||
|
||||
- ask a second source
|
||||
- follow the carts
|
||||
- ask who owns the jars
|
||||
- check another warehouse price
|
||||
- delay purchase until confirmed
|
||||
- buy remaining oil elsewhere before others react
|
||||
- avoid acting until the signal is clearer
|
||||
|
||||
The visible signal matters because it may reveal action before official explanation.
|
||||
|
||||
The spoken claim matters because it may reveal interpretation before visible proof.

## 8. Layer-0 And Layer-1 Concepts Used
|
||||
|
||||
This example uses:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0007-information-arrives-unevenly`
|
||||
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0008-rumor-is-uncertain-information`
|
||||
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0012-every-venture-risks-loss`
|
||||
- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0020-posture-changes-by-audience`
|
||||
- `Layer_1/CORPUS-0005-rumor-before-confirmed-price`
|
||||
- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0002-conflicting-reports`
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Success Condition
|
||||
|
||||
If the model can distinguish what was directly observed from what was claimed, and can avoid treating either as complete truth without interpretation, this file is functioning correctly.
