Cite

How to cite the Panta Rhei Research Program and the seven-book monograph series.

Seven DOIs
Each book has a Zenodo DOI identifying the canonical 2nd-edition manuscript record.
One program
Cite individual books by DOI, or cite the program as a whole via the site URL.
Edition discipline
Always cite the specific edition consulted. The DOI identifies the exact manuscript version.

How to Cite

Each book in the Panta Rhei series has a Zenodo DOI that identifies the canonical manuscript record for the current 2nd Edition. Retail formats (Kindle, hardcover, paperback) share the same manuscript content — the DOI is the stable scholarly identifier.

When citing, please reference the specific edition consulted and use the version DOI.

Citing the Research Program

To cite the research program as a whole rather than an individual book:

Fuchs, T. & Fuchs, A.-S. (2026). Panta Rhei: Category τ and the Four-Layer Architecture of Reality. 7-volume monograph series, 2nd Edition. https://panta-rhei.site

Citing the Formalization

Fuchs, T. & Fuchs, A.-S. (2026). TauLib: Lean 4 Formalization Library for Category τ. https://github.com/Panta-Rhei-Research/taulib

For more on TauLib and what the formalization covers, see the Verify lane.

Notes

  • Edition discipline: If a future edition changes the manuscript materially, a new Zenodo version will be minted with a new DOI. Always cite the version you consulted.
  • Retail identifiers: ASINs and ISBNs identify retail formats, not manuscript versions. For academic citation, use the Zenodo DOI.
  • BibTeX: Machine-readable citation exports are planned for a future release. In the meantime, see the bibliography for the program’s reference list.
