Metabolic Ecology and Urban Nutrients *** The sovereign archive as a regulatory biosystem of epistemic flows and energetic climates

The Socioplastic MESH can be interpreted as an evolving metabolic architecture in which digital archives function less as repositories of fixed content than as operational ecologies where semantic nutrients circulate and cultural entropy is modulated through controlled thermodynamic exchanges, inverting traditional notions of archival stasis by positing a bioenergetic model where each hyperlink, cluster and metadata tag becomes a vector of nutritional value, sustaining and activating a sovereign metabolism that unfolds across informational territories; sovereignty in this schema does not signify command or containment, but rather an atmospheric capacity to modulate semantic density, enabling conditions of legibility, resistance and persistence within an entropic digital terrain, thus reinforcing the idea that archives, when metabolically activated, become ecological regulators of epistemic nourishment; this view is illustrated in the Metadata Master Cluster (162-001), where taxonomic logic and infrastructural vitality converge, turning granular data into cultural proteins that serve as sustenance for a living archive-body constantly reconfigured through user interaction, systemic recursivity and link-based feedback; here, link-energy differentials mirror trophic gradients in natural ecosystems, distinguishing between low-energy trace noise and high-energy sovereign nodes that attract attention, create gravitational pull, and establish relational climates across knowledge networks; ultimately, the MESH does not merely curate but feeds and breathes, rebalancing entropy through algorithmic appetite and atmospheric precision, making visible the metabolic undercurrents that sustain epistemic resilience in a time of cultural oversaturation. Lloveras, A. 2026.
