rationale: This entity is directly grounded in Smith's text from Book I, Chapter

10, where he explicitly discusses the contrast between speculative and regular

trade, including the conditions required for speculation (extensive commerce and

rationale: This entity maps well to S4 (intelligence/environmental adaptation) as

speculative trade depends heavily on market intelligence and rapid adaptation

making it VSM-relevant rather than abstract.
