Ontology lacks a publicly adjudicable topography of its own determinations; none has yet been shown under the conditions stated here. Positions are ordinarily indexed by authors, doctrines, concepts, schools, or historical systems, but these carriers do not by themselves show which determinations concerning being are present, how they relate, or whether a proposal adds a new determination. Without a chart of nodes, ontology cannot refer precisely to its own positions, place a candidate within the articulated field, or distinguish novelty from reformulation, recombination, local transformation, or unresolved difference. This article founds Ontosystematics as the inquiry charged with constructing that chart. Its elementary object is the ontological node: a determination concerning being whose identity is adjudicated across heterogeneous articulations while no carrier fixes its ontological type and no native warrant serves as the final measure of identity. Cross-articulation identity disputes are not the discipline's final purpose; they are the operation through which the topography becomes possible. The article develops release without extraction as the condition of that operation. Warrants and carriers remain preserved within their source articulations but are suspended as final arbiters of node identity. A circle of reconstruction combines maximal reconstruction, carrier-appropriate attestation, pairing and facade controls, a revisable determination-space, and audits of content, scope, polarity, and inferential or operative role. It returns identity, division, failed identity, or suspension. Where identity survives, difference is recorded as typed, non-scalar ontological delta, and wider relations are assigned componentwise. The chart is relational rather than metric: a node's place is exhausted by the typed relations it bears. An audit of prior inquiries identifies extensive instrument ancestry but no inquiry that constitutes this object and region together. Two reflexive tests assess the apparatus under adverse conditions: a preregistered classification divides a candidate in the founding corpus, while a canon self-test identifies an illicit rank generated by the burden rule, which is consequently withdrawn. The article does not supply a completed chart, and the chart it founds is of nodes and typed relations rather than whole ontologies. It establishes the elementary object, regional jurisdiction, and public apparatus by which that chart can be built, corrected, and extended, and by which a candidate can be adjudicated, any resulting node placed, and its novelty tested. No institutional peer review has been performed. All verdicts reported are dated, defeasible, and stated together with the conditions under which they fail. The preregistrations, classification reports, and canon self-test on which the article's reflexive sections rest are separately deposited and openly available.
