Developed by Anto Lloveras, Socioplastics is an accessible way of understanding knowledge as a living city rather than a row of isolated buildings. Imagine that philosophy, art, architecture, sociology and technology are separate neighbourhoods, each with its own rules and gatekeepers deciding what counts as valid knowledge. For decades these districts operated almost independently, yet today’s complex problems—climate change, algorithmic culture, unstable cities—ignore such borders. Socioplastics proposes transdisciplinarity: not merely placing disciplines side by side, but redrawing the map so they share one common ground from the outset. This shared terrain is a structured network of numbered texts—nodes—linked through clear connective rules. Each node is like a building; each link is a street. Together they form a navigable, expandable system. At its core lies Epistemic Sovereignty, the capacity of the system to define how knowledge functions within it rather than constantly seeking external validation. Ideas are “hardened” so they resist digital forgetting, yet the structure remains open, allowing anyone to enter, explore and contribute. Even empty nodes matter, because their position shapes the overall architecture. The result is not a closed book but a living instrument of thought: stable enough to hold coherence, flexible enough to evolve. Authorship becomes distributed—initiated by an architect, sustained by participants. Socioplastics thus invites ordinary people to walk through the city of ideas and actively help build its future.
