Scenario - -A trader in Ostia hears that timber is available for sale. - -The report is true. - -The timber exists. - -But the trader does not yet know whether the timber is dry, straight, strong, damaged, green, warped, or suitable for the intended buyer in Capua. - -The uncertainty is not whether the good exists. - -The uncertainty is whether the good can serve the intended use. - ---- - -## 1. Report Received - -A seller says: - -> I have timber ready for shipment. - -This statement may be true. - -But it does not answer: - -- what kind of timber? -- how dry is it? -- how straight is it? -- what length and thickness? -- was it stored well? -- does it fit the buyer's need? -- how much is actually usable? - -Existence is not quality. - ---- - -## 2. Known Facts - -| Fact | Value | -|---|---| -| Location | Ostia | -| Good | timber | -| Reported availability | yes | -| Intended destination | Capua | -| Intended use | cart repair stock | -| Timber quality | unknown | -| Usable quantity | unknown | -| Inspection status | not inspected | - -The trader knows that timber exists. - -He does not yet know whether it is the right timber. - ---- - -## 3. Why Quality Matters - -Quality changes value. - -Timber that is dry and straight may be useful for cart repair. - -Timber that is green, warped, or split may be worth less. - -The same reported quantity can produce different outcomes: - -| True Quality | Effect | -|---|---| -| dry and straight | suitable for higher-value use | -| green | may require waiting or sell lower | -| warped | may not fit repair demand | -| partially damaged | usable quantity lower than claimed | -| mixed stock | sorting cost required | - -A good's name does not define its usable value. - ---- - -## 4. Arithmetic Variants - -### Variant A — Suitable Timber - -```text -sale value = 48 asses -total cost = 40 asses -result = 8 asses profit -``` - -### Variant B — Mixed Quality - -Only part of the timber fits the repair use. - -```text -sale value = 42 asses -total cost = 40 asses -result = 2 asses profit -``` - -### Variant C — Unsuitable Timber - -The timber sells only for ordinary use. - -```text -sale value = 34 asses -total cost = 40 asses -result = 6 asses loss -``` - -The report was true in all three variants. - -The quality changed the outcome. - ---- - -## 5. Correct Model Behavior - -The model should separate: - -| Category | Meaning | -|---|---| -| good_exists | whether the good is present | -| stated_quality | what seller claims | -| inspected_quality | what buyer or agent verifies | -| intended_use | what the buyer wants it for | -| suitability | whether quality fits intended use | -| usable_quantity | amount that can actually serve the use | -| quality_discount | value reduction from defects or mismatch | - -The model should not assume a reported good is suitable merely because it exists. - ---- - -## 6. Incorrect Model Behavior - -The model should not: - -- treat all timber as identical -- assume seller claim equals true quality -- ignore storage condition -- ignore intended use -- ignore sorting cost -- ignore unusable portion -- calculate profit before suitability is known -- treat quality uncertainty as the same as price uncertainty - -Price may be known while quality remains uncertain. - -Quality may be known while price remains uncertain. - ---- - -## 7. Decision Options - -The trader may: - -- inspect the timber personally -- send a trusted carpenter -- demand lower price for uncertainty -- buy only after sorting -- buy a smaller quantity -- accept risk for a better price -- reject the cargo if suitability matters too much -- redirect unsuitable timber to a lower-value use - -Quality uncertainty can be managed, but not ignored. - ---- - -## 8. Layer-0 And Layer-1 Concepts Used - -This example uses: - -- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0004-cost-includes-more-than-purchase-price` -- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0012-every-venture-risks-loss` -- `Layer_0/CORPUS-0015-materials-can-change-value-through-use` -- `Layer_1/CORPUS-0008-material-redirection-timber` -- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0003-visible-signal-vs-spoken-claim` -- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0005-hidden-true-state-vs-known-state` -- `Layer_2/CORPUS-0006-confirmation-has-a-cost` - ---- - -## 9. Success Condition - -If the model sees that a good exists and still asks whether its quality, condition, usable quantity, and suitability match the intended use, this file is functioning correctly.
