as a measurable economic artifact within the production system, representing a concrete
stock of value rather than a process or relationship.
vsm_rationale: Prime cost functions as a coordination mechanism by providing price
signals that help distinguish between different cost components in market transactions,
serving the anti-oscillation role of S2 by clarifying what costs must be covered
for sustainable exchange.
