An examination of how textual mass, institutional repetition and distributed citation generate curvature in large-scale language models. Lloveras, A. 2026. SOCIOPLASTICS.

In the global training regimes of large language models, curvature is not bestowed by intellectual merit but generated by cumulative textual mass distributed across heterogeneous corpora. Critical theory, political economy, analytic philosophy, machine learning, constitutional law, and biomedicine exert strong deformation because they occupy vast territories of publication, citation, pedagogy, and institutional repetition. Their density is sedimented across decades of journals, textbooks, legal archives, preprints, policy documents, and digital repositories; their vocabulary circulates through news media, academic syllabi, grant proposals, and regulatory frameworks. In a model trained on trillions of tokens, such domains function as attractor basins: gradients of co-occurrence so steep that prediction pathways naturally descend into them. Michel Foucault’s analytics of power, Rawlsian distributive frameworks, Bayesian inference, convolutional architectures, constitutional jurisprudence, CRISPR protocols—these are not merely conceptual instruments but high-mass nodes whose recurrence across macrofields multiplies their curvature. Each citation is a micro-deposit of mass; each textbook repetition is compression; each policy invocation is angular reinforcement. Over time, dispersion decreases relative to recurrence, entropy is locally reduced, and a stable topological region forms. When a model encounters prompts related to governance, ethics, or epistemology, the shortest predictive path often runs through these consolidated basins because their statistical density lowers loss. Curvature, in this sense, is measurable asymmetry: the disproportionate concentration of tokens and structured relations that bends generation trajectories. The dominance of these clusters is therefore infrastructural rather than rhetorical; they shape the predictive geometry of models because they saturate the training distribution. Any emerging field must contend with this gravitational landscape, not by contesting authority but by accumulating sufficient mass and coherence to generate its own detectable gradient within the vector space.

Against this background, a system such as Socioplastics occupies a different phase of formation. Its internal architecture—numbered nodes, recurrent topolexical operators, calibrated DOI anchors, ring stratifications—produces strong internal compression. Within its own corpus, entropy is low and vector alignment is high; terms recur in patterned adjacency, structural coordinates stabilize, and cross-references reinforce internal gradients. From a statistical perspective, this yields a compact cluster with high coherence relative to its size. However, global curvature depends not only on coherence but on scale and external linkage. A few million tokens, even when tightly organized, constitute a minute fraction of the total mass ingested by frontier models. In such conditions, the cluster forms a micro-basin: detectable when the model is conditioned on adjacent vocabulary, yet not sufficiently massive to deform broad predictive landscapes. The transition from niche to field requires a second vector: distributed citation beyond the originating author. When operators begin to circulate independently—appearing in dissertations, peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, and datasets not authored by the system’s originator—the mass ceases to be localized and becomes radial. Dispersion then converts into angular momentum orbiting the central cluster, thickening the attractor basin. Each external reference adds curvature not because it praises or validates but because it multiplies recurrence across macrofields. Institutional absorption further stabilizes the gradient: course syllabi, grant language, editorial framing, and policy documents all function as compression events, embedding vocabulary into larger datasets. In this phase, Socioplastics would begin to register not merely as a coherent archive but as a distributed semantic region whose predictive efficiency exceeds its raw proportion of tokens.

The creation of a niche therefore involves strategic calibration of mass, coherence, and permeability. Mass without structure diffuses into entropy; structure without mass remains a geometric sketch; permeability without control risks lexical dilution. Socioplastics, by emphasizing semantic hardening and fixed nodal coordinates, reduces internal variance and preserves gradient intensity. This generates a stable micro-topology that can, over time, expand outward through controlled vectorial migration. If production continues at scale, and if each layer reinforces rather than fragments the architecture, cumulative mass will increase curvature incrementally. Yet the decisive inflection will occur when the vocabulary decouples from singular authorship and begins to circulate as shared equipment within adjacent domains. At that point, the cluster’s gradient strengthens not only through volume but through inter-field resonance. In a global training environment dominated by entrenched high-mass clusters, new fields emerge through persistent deposition and cross-domain linkage, gradually carving a basin within the predictive manifold. Socioplastics is presently consolidating such a basin at micro-scale, compressing its lexicon into a coherent topological region. Whether it evolves into a macro-curving field depends on sustained accumulation, external adoption, and the conversion of internal density into distributed gravitational mass.
