I suppose merchants, like folks that sell bread, would come under trading partners, although retail establishments might be a considerable sub-class, at least.
I consider that many folks are going to be in more than one group, like your Aunt Sally that runs a bakery and chairs the local HOA, or the crooked cop that your teenage daughter sneaks out at night to 'date'. Such intersectionality amongst the various types of entity creates almost infinite variety, much like the real world.
Glad to see you're still progressing on the Nth Society. Without regular internet access, I've little ability to stay on top of things, but am happy to see this.
Thanks!
Thanks for your thoughts! Yes perhaps trading partners needs to be broken out. I also thought that perhaps lawyers, accountants, etc. need their own class of people with whom you may required to trade, by governmental decree. What would you call that I wonder?
Hell.
