+## Abstract
+
+Canonical orientation essay for the intellectual and philosophical lineage of
+the Panta Rhei Research Program. It records the inquiry stance behind the
+Program lane by situating categorical ontology in a chosen lineage from ancient
+formal intelligibility through modern structural thought.
+
+## Claim Boundary
+
+This Charter Essay is an orientation artifact. It does not prove or validate
+`\tau`-Theory, does not claim final-theory status, and does not turn a
+historical lineage into evidence of truth.
+
+## Verification And Status Notes
+
+Canonical v1.0 release artifact. Hashes and timestamps attest to the PDF bytes
+only; they do not certify correctness, peer review, legal status, DOI
