The Socioplastic Mesh by Anto Lloveras represents a definitive rupture in 2026 urban theory, moving beyond the "smart" city toward a state of Machine Fixation. This is not a proposal for future construction but a terminal inventory of a city that has already been "taxidermied" and re-animated through code. By structuring the work into a networked pentagram of "Slugs," Lloveras provides academia with a citational infrastructure—a way to map the "VCity" through protocols like Strategic-Autophagy and the Topolexical Engine. This system is unique because it treats the archive as the only remaining sovereign substrate, suggesting that the city is no longer a physical destination but a cognitive interface where history is curated, not erased.
