feat(example): add supply-chain-vsm composition demo (S3.5)
Demonstrates infospace composition: the Wealth of Nations infospace is used as a discipline, applying Smith's economic framework as a lens to analyse modern supply chain management concepts. New example: examples/supply-chain-vsm/ - infospace.yaml binding WoN as discipline (../infospace-with-history) - 3 source documents: coordination mechanisms, capital & inventory, market structure (~400 words each, original content) - supply-chain-entity-schema-v1.0.md with WoN Concept required section - won-mapping-schema-v1.0.md with Conceptual Continuity rating - artifacts/won-reference/core-entities.md — 12 curated WoN entities for injection as discipline context - 8 hand-crafted entity files demonstrating LLM output format - 3 mapping files with full rationale and VSM inheritance chains - Viable: YES (5/5 thresholds) Key mappings demonstrated: Demand Signal → Effectual Demand (Strong, S2) Vendor-Managed Inventory → Division of Labour (Strong, S1/S2) Just-in-Time Inventory → Circulating Capital (Strong, S1/S3) Bullwhip Effect → Natural Price (Moderate, S2) Platform Intermediary → Merchant Capital (Strong, S2/S4) Monopsony Power → Combination of Masters (Strong, S3*) Platform fix: entity_parser.py now recognises ## Supply Chain Domain as a domain alias for ## Economic Domain, enabling composed infospaces to use their own domain section name. Tutorial §13 rewritten with real commands, real output, and the full mapping table from the demo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Demand Signal
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
Information about consumer purchasing activity that propagates upstream
|
||||
through a supply chain to inform supplier replenishment and production
|
||||
decisions. A demand signal may be a point-of-sale data feed, a retailer's
|
||||
replenishment order, or a forecast. Signal quality — latency, accuracy,
|
||||
and granularity — determines how well upstream production can be
|
||||
synchronised with downstream consumption.

## VSM Assignment
|
||||
|
||||
S2 — The demand signal is the primary coordination variable of the supply
|
||||
chain, analogous to the price signal in a market. It tells each upstream
|
||||
node what the downstream node requires, enabling synchronised response
|
||||
without central direction.
|
||||
|
||||
## WoN Concept
|
||||
|
||||
Effectual Demand — Smith's effectual demand — the demand of those willing
|
||||
and able to pay — is the signal that calls productive resources into action.
|
||||
The modern demand signal is effectual demand made explicit and machine-readable:
|
||||
instead of inferring demand from price movements, modern supply chains
|
||||
transmit demand data directly. Both serve the same coordination function
|
||||
(telling producers how much to produce), but where Smith's effectual demand
|
||||
works through price as a lagged, aggregated signal, the modern demand signal
|
||||
aims for real-time, granular transmission.
