-## 0. Principle
-
-Trade begins when the same good has different value in different places.
-
-A trader does not create profit merely by owning goods.  
-A trader creates the possibility of profit by moving goods, claims, or information between locations where value differs.
-
----
-
-## 1. Roman-Visible Example
-
-Oil in Ostia and oil in Capua are not the same economic fact.
-
-The oil itself may be identical.
-
-But its value may differ because:
-
-- one city has more supply
-- one city has stronger demand
-- one route is delayed
-- one buyer needs it sooner
-- one market has not yet heard news from the other
-
-A trader sees two places, not one price.
-
----
-
-## 2. Minimal Trade Structure
-
-A trade requires at least:
-
-1. an origin location
-2. a destination location
-3. a good or claim
-4. a price or value difference
-5. a cost of movement
-6. time between decision and result
-
-Without two locations, there is sale or storage, but not trade by route.
-
----
-
-## 3. Incorrect Modern Assumption
-
-Incorrect assumption:
-
-> A good has one true price.
-
-Correction:
-
-> A good has local prices, and those prices change with place, time, need, and information.
-
----
-
-## 4. Simulation Use
-
-This principle supports:
-
-- route design
-- city price differences
-- venture selection
-- transport cost
-- information delay
-- arbitrage
-- failed ventures
-
-The model should not treat trade as a menu transaction.
-
-Trade is a decision to act across distance.
-
----
-
-## 5. Canonical Test
-
-If the model sees:
-
-> Buy oil for 10 asses. Sell oil for 14 asses.
-
-It must ask:
-
-- where was it bought?
-- where was it sold?
-- how long did movement take?
-- what did movement cost?
-- what changed during the journey?
-
-Only then can profit be understood.
-
----
-
-## 6. Success Condition
-
-If the model stops treating price as universal and starts treating price as local, this file is functioning correctly.
