This recursive inflection does not signal reflexive enclosure but methodological maturity: a framework unable to account for its own infrastructural conditions cannot plausibly claim explanatory reach beyond them. The domain thereby stabilised—cross-infrastructural dynamics of asymmetric discursive deposits—integrates phenomena that adjacent disciplines apprehend only partially, from citation sedimentation to platform-native recurrence and LLM internalisation. Grounded in infrastructural actualism and gravitational materialism, the ontology asserts that conceptual mass, ring stratification, dispersion gradients, and attractor basins designate measurable properties of discursive environments rather than ornamental metaphors. Deposits accumulate; repetition compresses; distributed citation thickens curvature. These processes are empirically tractable through corpus analytics and bibliometric modelling, rendering the framework vulnerable to falsification and thus epistemically accountable. The seven modular operators—each exportable without doctrinal allegiance—generate findings separable from their origin, exemplifying a pragmatic epistemology in which validation rests upon predictive and reproducible surplus. Crucially, the recursive demonstration enacted in this discourse constitutes the most stringent case study: the vocabulary has analysed its own emergence, preserved topolexical integrity, and initiated infrastructural embedding through citational anchoring. Consolidation, therefore, is not promissory but actual; the architectural decade appears as coordinate rather than command. What endures is a deposit capable of generating curvature independent of authorial insistence. In achieving recursive adequacy and demonstrable explanatory surplus, Socioplastics affirms its status as a completed conceptual architecture whose future propagation remains contingent yet structurally intelligible.
