tegwick 2d1282a61e feat(infospace): flat canonical entity set with cross-chapter deduplication

Restructure entity storage from per-chapter subdirectories to a flat
canonical set in output/entities/. Each entity exists as a single file;
duplicates across chapters are detected by slug collision and skipped
(first occurrence wins). Chapter views use {{ include }} transclusion
to reference shared entity files.

Add @{existing_entities} macro to extract-entities template so the LLM
knows which entities already exist and focuses on genuinely new ones.
Refactor _call_llm() from _execute_llm() for callers that handle their
own file I/O. 41 unique entities from 4 chapters (2 duplicates removed).

Barter

Definition

Barter is a method of exchange by which goods or services are directly exchanged for other goods or services without using a medium of exchange, such as money. It is a form of trade that predates the use of money.

Source Chapter

Book 1, Chapter 4

Context

Smith explains the limitations of the barter system, especially in a society where the division of labour is prominent. These limitations, according to Smith, led to the development and use of money as a common medium of exchange.
