# OE-0000: Charter
|
|
|
|
**Status:** RC (Release Candidate)
|
|
**Phase:** The Bedrock Phase
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
Open Engineer is an open standard for preserving engineering context.
|
|
|
|
Open Engineer does not seek to tell engineers what to think. It seeks to preserve how engineers arrive at understanding.
|
|
|
|
## Nature of the Standard
|
|
|
|
Open Engineer is a standard.
|
|
|
|
Not a philosophy.
|
|
Not documentation.
|
|
Not an AI project.
|
|
Not a website.
|
|
|
|
Philosophy, documentation, AI projects, and websites become **implementations**.
|
|
The standard comes first.
|
|
|
|
## Mission
|
|
|
|
It gave engineering a common language for preserving understanding across people, projects, generations, and intelligent systems — so that every generation could begin a little closer to bedrock than the last.
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
|
|
Open Engineer remains grounded in engineering while staying intellectually humble enough to recognize that valuable observations about reality have emerged from many places throughout human history.
|
|
|
|
It is open. It is humble. It respects every discipline. It welcomes ideas from every culture and every generation. And yet it remains firmly anchored to reality through observation, verification, and stewardship.
|
|
|
|
## Dependency
|
|
|
|
This is the root document. All other specification documents extend from this charter. |
