I think with more real world examples this becomes easier to understand. I can grasp concepts easier with case scenarios.
Bob buys a loaf of bread. Sally runs a grocery store who has 50 loaves of bread. Mike is Bob's boss, and Mike pays his employee Bob XYZ
As long as the story isn't a tongue twister with names.. more like a short story.. it could probably be easier to understand.
Would make a great fictionalized story of this in play. If the story works, then it might be adaptable in real life too.
Anyone willing to take Dan's ideas and turn it into an easy to read story so we could see how this could plausibly work?
