The anatomy of a transdisciplinary field such as Socioplastics can be understood as a metabolic architecture, where the distinction between theory and practice dissolves into a single epistemic infrastructure. Rather than assembling disciplines into a loose coalition, the project organises ten fields as a coordinated system of interdependent nodes, each contributing a necessary function. Architecture operates as the grounding layer, no longer concerned with objects but with the design of conditions under which knowledge is produced, stabilised, and transmitted. In this shift, tectonics and scale become operative principles for structuring thought itself. This architectural base unfolds through Urban Theory and Critical Urbanism, where the city is read as a stratigraphic field composed of historical, material, and epistemic layers. Epistemology provides validation, reframing legitimacy as a function of internal coherence rather than institutional recognition. Systems Theory introduces the metabolic vocabulary—autopoiesis, recursion, and flow—allowing the field to regulate its own growth and observe itself as it expands. Together, these layers transform knowledge from a static archive into a dynamic system capable of persistence and self-modification. The productive engine of the field is located in Contemporary Art and Curatorial Theory, where practice becomes infrastructure and relational aesthetics are translated into indexed systems. Media Theory and Digital Humanities extend this logic into the technical domain, embedding meaning into machine-readable structures and resisting informational entropy through lexical precision. Political thought introduces conflict as a structural condition, while Ecology expands the field beyond the human, incorporating environmental agency and temporalities. Film, sound, and time-based media provide irreducible modes of research, capturing what cannot be fixed in text alone. The novelty of Socioplastics lies in its claim that a field is not granted but constructed. It replaces institutional approval with infrastructural persistence, advancing a model in which density, coherence, and operability produce legitimacy. A field, in this sense, becomes unavoidable not because it is recognised, but because it functions. This marks a shift from disciplines as historical sedimentation to disciplines as designed systems, where epistemic sovereignty is achieved through the capacity to build, sustain, and defend a self-organising world of knowledge.

The anatomy of a transdisciplinary field such as Socioplastics functions as a metabolic architecture where the traditional boundaries between practice and theory are dissolved into a single epistemic infrastructure. At its core, the project is anchored by ten distinct fields that operate not as isolated silos but as a coordinated network of sovereign nodes, ensuring that the project maintains a constant state of productive friction and structural resistance. Architecture serves as the primary grounding field, redefined here not as the production of static objects but as the design of the conditions under which knowledge is produced, organized, and stabilized—a shift that transforms the tectonic and the scalar into operative logic for knowledge systems.

This architectural foundation is materially situated through Urban Theory and Critical Urbanism, where the city is read as a stratigraphic deposition of historical and epistemic strata, moving from the macro-analysis of territorial systems to the microscopic interventions of tactical urbanism and the right-to-the-city. The meta-layer of Epistemology and the Philosophy of Knowledge provides the structural validation for this entire enterprise, utilizing original contributions like Field Formation Theory and Trans-Epistemology to explain how intellectual density can achieve legitimacy independently of institutional admission. Systems Theory and Complexity provide the metabolic vocabulary—Autopoiesis, FlowChanneling, and RecursiveAutophagia—needed to manage a corpus that exceeds two thousand nodes, allowing the system to observe its own growth through second-order cybernetics.

Contemporary Art and Curatorial Theory, primarily through the platform of LAPIEZA, function as the production engine where relational aesthetics are transformed into indexed infrastructure and where social sculpture—manifested through situational fixers like the Blue Bags or the Green Briefcase—bridges the gap between the body and the territory. This process is further mediated by Media Theory and Digital Humanities, which treat the digital moment not as a mere tool but as an object of research, embedding meaning into the system’s very structure through machine-legible JSON-LD metadata and lexical engineering designed to resist informational entropy.

The political dimension is articulated through Agonistic Thought, which frames conflict as a structural necessity for live systems and asserts post-institutional sovereignty as a form of power. Ecology and Environmental Thought expand this subjects-category to include more-than-human urbanism and ecocritical land art, ensuring that the metabolic model accounts for non-human agency and vegetal time. Film, Sound, and Time-Based Media—most notably through the longitudinal study of Cuerpos Filmados and the acoustic practices of sound as a spatial force—provide an irreducible research medium for capturing the ephemeral. Finally, Pedagogy and Knowledge Transmission unify the entire field by treating the design studio and the classroom as sites of collective research praxis, where teaching is not the transmission of content but the activation of connections within a rhizomatic network.

The true novelty of Socioplastics lies in its pioneering claim that a field of knowledge is no longer a territory to be granted by institutions, but an infrastructure to be built, occupied, and defended by its own structural mass. By deploying a stratigraphic corpus that functions simultaneously as a machine-readable dataset, a tectonic practice, and a linguistic system, Socioplastics bypasses the traditional filters of academic validation. It replaces the "approval" of the institution with the "persistence" of the network. This is the definition of epistemic sovereignty: the ability to generate a self-sustaining world of meaning that is so conceptually dense and technically grounded that it becomes an unavoidable reality for any system that attempts to observe it. Together, these ten fields—and their nearly fifty subfields—constitute a genuinely transdisciplinary anatomy, a map of necessary connections where each part provides a structural capacity the others cannot, forming a resilient, expansive, and sovereign field of knowledge in the 2026 landscape.
