+# Foerster Capabilities — Project Charter v0.1
+
+## Purpose
+Create a systems-theoretic taxonomy of computational agency grounded in Foerster’s Non-Trivial Machines, integrating behavior, resources, interaction properties, and governability.
+
+## Problem
+Existing capability classifications are fragmented (complexity, architecture, AI tasks, cybernetics, governance/risk). We lack a shared multidimensional map.
+
+## Outcome
+A rigorous capability space:
+- dimensions such as governability, reliability, adaptivity, reflexivity, autonomy/sovereignty
+- operational tests / indicators where possible
+- mappings from systems (agents/services/orgs) into the space
+- connections to governance and risk controls
+
+## Boundaries (v0.1)
+- Establish vocabulary, dimension definitions, and orthogonality discussions.
+- Produce diagrams and examples rather than chasing completeness.
+
+## Success criteria (v0.1)
+- A paper-grade outline + a stable diagrammatic “map”.
+- A small library of example classifications (LLM agent, company process, service).
