 # M5 — Traders (AI actors)
 
 ## 1. Component
-The economy organ's hands: **specialized AI actors** that buy, sell, and mint cryptocurrency and
-NFTs. Each trader is bound to a Wallet (M4), operates through the Marketplace (M1), queries Sims
-(M3) for predictions, and has all tool calls monitored by the SAE (M7). Multiple traders may
-operate concurrently with **different specializations** (DeFi yield, NFT minting, arbitrage,
-long-term holding, etc.).
+The economy organ's hands: **specialized AI instances** that buy, sell, and mint cryptocurrency and
+NFTs. Each trader is bound to a Wallet (M4), operates through the Marketplace (M1), queries Market to receive predictions (M3), and are monitored by the SAE (M7) via Marketplace. Multiple traders operate concurrently with **different heuristics and specializations**.
 
 ## 2. Status / certainty
 DESIGN-FIRST · ABSENT. Role C3; implementation C1.
 
 ## 3. Language & location
-TBD · `src/economy/traders/`. Traders are a mixed roster: some are LLM-powered AI agents, some
-are deterministic strategy bots. All use the same `MarketAction` interface through the
-Marketplace regardless of implementation.

 ## 4. Does / does-not
 - **Does:** read sim predictions from the Marketplace (M1) (bounded, multi-domain, per-sim-type);
   formulate trade decisions based on predictions + market state + specialization; submit
-  `MarketAction` requests to the Marketplace (M1) via bound wallet (M4); operate with **scoped
-  autonomy** — trades within law/budget constraints don't need Brain or Conductor approval.
+  `MarketAction` requests to the Marketplace (M1) only bound wallet (M4); operate with **scoped
+  autonomy** — trades within law/budget constraints don't need Brain or Conductor approval; manage lower level bot goals.
 - **Does-not:** execute on-chain directly (Marketplace does); hold keys (Wallet does); supervise
   other traders (Conductor does); modify the law script (immutable — M1-L2); bypass the
-  Marketplace (M1-L1).
+  Marketplace (M1-L1) - this must be due to literal lack of surface.
 
 ## 5. Interface contract
-- `init_trader(specialization, wallet_id, config) -> trader_id`.
-  `specialization` ∈ { `defi_yield`, `nft_minter`, `arbitrageur`, `trend_follower`,
-  `market_maker`, … } — extensible.
-- `decide(market_state, predictions: [BoundedPrediction]) -> MarketAction?` — the trader's core
-  loop. May return no action (waiting is a valid decision). Predictions are read from the
-  Marketplace, which receives them continuously from the sim hub via M2.
-- `tool_call(tool_name, args) -> result` — every tool call is intercepted and logged by the SAE
-  (M7) at the Marketplace level. The Marketplace is the only interface traders can act through.
-- `pause() / resume()` — Conductor (M6) can pause a trader pending investigation.
-- `status() -> { active | paused | investigating, wallet_id, specialization, position_summary }`.

 ## 6. Dependencies & stubs
-- M1 Marketplace — action submission; *stub:* mock marketplace that logs actions.
-- M1 Marketplace — predictions (from sims via M2) and action submission; *stub:* mock marketplace.
-- M4 Wallet — bound 1:1; *stub:* mock wallet.
-- M6 Conductor — supervision; *stub:* no supervision.
-- M7 SAE — monitors all tool calls; *stub:* print calls.
+- M1 Marketplace — trade verification; *stub:* none, must make marketplace first.
+- M1 Marketplace — predictions (from sims via M2) and action submission; *stub:* see above
+- M4 Wallet — bound 1:1; *stub:* see above
+- M6 Conductor — supervision; *stub:* ... need i state
+- M7 SAE — Out of scope
 
 ## 7. Invariants / laws
-- **L1 (C5):** **all market actions go through the Marketplace** — a trader cannot interact with
-  any chain or protocol except via `MarketAction` → Marketplace (M1). Enforced by architecture
-  (no direct RPC access), not just policy.
-- **L2 (C5):** **all tool calls are monitored** — every tool invocation (Marketplace, Sims,
-  Feeds, internal) is logged to SAE (M7). No unmonitored trader action.
-- **L3 (C4):** **wallet binding is irrevocable within a session** — a trader's wallet cannot be
-  reassigned to another trader at runtime.
-- **L4 (C4):** **Conductor can pause** — a paused trader cannot submit actions, query sims, or
-  read feeds until resumed by the Conductor (M6).
-- **L5 (C3):** trader specialization constrains strategy but not the interface — all traders use
-  the same `MarketAction` vocabulary regardless of specialization.

+  any chain or protocol except via Marketplace (M1). Enforced by architecture (no direct RPC access), not just policy.
+- **L3 (C4):** **wallet binding is permanent** — a trader's wallet cannot be reassigned to another trader at any time.
+- **L4 (C4):** **Conductor can pause** — a paused trader cannot submit actions, query sims, or read feeds until resumed by the Conductor (M6). This is mechanical.
+- **L5 (C3):** trader specialization constrains strategy but not the interface — all traders use the same vocabulary regardless of specialization.
 
 ## 8. Build steps
-1. Define the trader agent architecture (LLM-based? hybrid? rule-based for v1?).
-2. Implement the `decide` loop (observe market state + predictions → action).
-3. Wire tool-call interception → M7 SAE.
-4. Wire Marketplace submission → M1.
-5. Implement pause/resume for Conductor control.
-6. Build at least two specializations to test multi-trader dynamics.
+1. Make the real build order.
 
 ## 9. Tests
-Marketplace-only: trader cannot call chain RPC directly. Monitoring: every tool call appears in
-SAE log. Wallet binding: trader uses only its bound wallet. Pause: paused trader cannot submit
-actions. Specialization: different specializations produce different action patterns on identical
-market state.

 ## 10. Open items
-- Trader agent architecture (which LLM? how much deterministic logic vs. model inference?).
+- Trader architecture
 - Number of concurrent traders and resource allocation per trader.
 - Specialization catalog (which types, and how do they differ in strategy?).
-- Inter-trader coordination (do traders see each other's positions? shared state? isolated?).
+- Inter-trader coordination (necessary for high end maneuvers including rugpulls)
