A new lineage/v0 op, charter, records a node's legal form: sole proprietor,
LLC, series LLC, series or corporation, with a jurisdiction (ISO 3166), a
legal name, who formed it and a SHA-256 of the filings. Legal form is an
attribute, so a node keeps its inscription, keys and history whatever form it
takes, and the newest charter counts. A node charters itself; a series is
chartered by its master, an ancestor chartered as a series LLC. Whether a
charter stands is derived from the tree, never stored: a series lapses if it
graduates or its master closes or stops holding series, so charters commute
with graduations and closes in any block order.
Agents can graduate: a seat goes independent as a holding of its own, with
its own root and keys and its money along, and can then birth, award and
incorporate. Charter is the tenth verb, and the tree tags each node with its
form. Charter hashes a filing from a file in the tab. The sample charters
yolopreneur as a Wyoming series LLC with its ventures as series, and lineage
graduates into Lineage LLC.
