Socioplastics grows by naming what allowed it to grow. Citation is its ethics of structure: not decoration, not academic obedience, but the precise acknowledgment that every field is built from prior gestures, borrowed tools, conversations, errors, inheritances, and shared labour. The corpus does not erase its dependencies in order to appear original. It stabilises them, cites them, recomposes them, and lets them remain visible inside the architecture. Words stay. Deposits wait. Crawlers arrive late. Duration does the deeper work. Kind citation is therefore not sentiment; it is structural honesty.
