Tier 1+ Pass-1.5 paper 40 of 45. ITU-derived international trade on goods + capital + FX + tariff + logistics. Ricardo + Tinbergen gravity + Trump 2025 tariffs + CBAM 2026. Defines K_trade = -log ρ_trade as the operator-algebraic modular Hamiltonian on H_goods ⊗ H_capital ⊗ H_FX ⊗ H_tariff ⊗ H_logistics. K_trade inherits from K_QG via the CLPW 2023 type II crossed-product specialised to this scale. Numerical results.
