Principle - -Credit depends on trust. - -A person may receive goods, coin, time, or service now because another person believes repayment or performance will happen later. - -That belief may come from: - -- reputation -- prior dealings -- witnesses -- written records -- collateral -- family standing -- legal access -- fear of consequences -- mutual obligation - -Credit is not free money. -It is delayed settlement under risk. - ---- - -## 1. Roman-Visible Example - -A trader lacks enough coin to buy oil today. - -One seller refuses him. - -Another seller allows him to take the oil and pay after sale in Capua. - -The oil is the same. -The trader is the same. -The difference is trust. - -The second seller believes the trader will return, repay, or be held accountable. - ---- - -## 2. Minimal Credit Structure - -Credit requires at least: - -1. lender or seller -2. borrower or buyer -3. value advanced -4. expected repayment or performance -5. time before settlement -6. reason for trust -7. consequence if trust fails - -Without trust or enforceability, credit collapses. - ---- - -## 3. Incorrect Modern Assumption - -Incorrect assumption: - -> Credit is only a formal loan. - -Correction: - -> Credit can also appear as delayed payment, goods advanced before payment, partnership confidence, tolerated delay, or reputation-based access. - -Credit may be informal but still economically powerful. - ---- - -## 4. Simulation Use - -This principle supports: - -- credit_capacity -- deferred payment -- trust relationships -- witness importance -- collateral -- reputation effects -- failed repayment -- access differences between actors - -The model should not treat credit as available equally to all actors. - ---- - -## 5. Canonical Test - -If the model sees: - -> The trader can buy without immediate coin. - -It must ask: - -- who trusts him? -- why is he trusted? -- is there a witness? -- is there collateral? -- what is the repayment term? -- what happens if he fails? -- does his status affect access to credit? - -Only then can the credit be understood. - ---- - -## 6. Success Condition - -If the model stops treating credit as automatic borrowing and starts treating credit as trust extended under risk, this file is functioning correctly.
