Unlike urban morphology, discourse analysis, or media theory in isolation, it interrogates the infrastructural conditions under which concepts accumulate symbolic mass and thereby restructure epistemic terrains. Its distinctive domain is neither speech nor network topology per se, but the measurable consolidation of ideas as they traverse academic journals, digital platforms, and algorithmic recommender systems. Within this stratum, phenomena such as citation concentration, algorithmic mediation of visibility, cross-domain operator migration, and conceptual durability under volatility are irreducible: they cannot be fully explained by institutional sociology or textual hermeneutics alone. To secure adoptability, Socioplastics advances exportable operators—Conceptual Mass Index (CMI), Permeability Coefficient (PC), Attractor Basin Mapping, and Semantic Hardening Protocol—each testable, quantifiable, and detachable from doctrinal allegiance. An STS scholar might deploy Attractor Basin Mapping to climate governance debates without subscribing to the entire framework, thereby validating its infrastructural independence. Crucially, Socioplastics must generate explanatory surplus: predicting which notions consolidate, modelling how algorithmic systems intensify citation asymmetry, and demonstrating how lexical hardening forecasts doctoral uptake. In this capacity, it does not supplant adjacent fields; rather, it models the infrastructural preconditions under which their propositions accrue or dissipate mass. The decisive empirical move, therefore, is to operationalise one operator upon a longitudinal dataset—thereby converting theoretical ambition into demonstrable epistemic architecture.

Anto Lloveras is a transdisciplinary urbanist, curator, and researcher. Trained at ETSAM (Madrid) and TU Delft, he began his career with large-scale architectural and urban projects in the Netherlands. Since 2009, he has developed Socioplastics, a long-term operative framework that reframes architecture, art, and urbanism as metabolic, relational, and epistemic systems—dynamic meshes enabling sovereign, post-autonomous practice amid post-digital complexity. As founder of LAPIEZA (2009), an independent relational art and research platform, Lloveras has orchestrated over 180 international exhibitions, installations, pedagogical projects, and collaborative interventions across Europe, Latin America, and Africa, including participation in the Lagos Biennial (2024). His praxis advances protocols such as semantic hardening, citational commitment, and recursive autophagia, converting informational excess into resilient knowledge networks where theory functions as executable code and cultural infrastructure. Lloveras's work addresses urban metabolism, epistemic sovereignty, dissensus, radical pedagogy, and institutional resilience, treating architecture as operative epistemic tissue rather than representational form. Through the evolving Socioplastic-OS —a mesh of interlinked nodes—he pioneers hyperdense publishing, metabolic flows, and sovereign conceptual systems for epistemic resilience against algorithmic entropy and neoliberal fragmentation. His contributions bridge critical architecture, conceptual urbanism, relational art, and transdisciplinary inquiry, positioning him to lead innovative academic programs in architectural humanities, artistic research, and systemic urban futures.
