{ :::: SOCIOPLASTICS * A field across architecture, epistemology and conceptual art : Zenodo should become the ground of the ontology. Not the only platform, but the deepest one: the place where Socioplastics stops behaving like publication and becomes deposit, record, citation, version, persistence. Zenodo gives each published record a DOI and supports DOI versioning, with one DOI for a specific version and another for the record’s versioned continuity. That matters because ontology needs traceability, not visibility alone. The distinction is architectural: Zenodo is Core; the others are organs. Blogger is the living matrix, where the field breathes, links, narrates and grows. Figshare can hold tables, instruments, and secondary research objects. Hugging Face can host the machine-readable index. GitHub can carry code, schemas and MUSE. Substack or Medium can translate the system into public rhythm. But the ontological spine—the sealed Cores, Decalogues, canonical PDFs, TXT files, metadata packages—belongs in Zenodo. This creates spatial relief. There is room. The feared limit was only the 100-file / 50GB cap per record, not a ceiling on the number of records or DOIs. So Socioplastics can expand horizontally: one paper, one record, one DOI; one Core, ten records; one field, many anchored objects. The archive does not need compression. It needs order. The lab account or community can come next, not as escape route but as institutional widening. Zenodo communities are designed for projects, institutions and domains to curate research outputs, with roles for owners, managers and curators. That fits LAPIEZA-LAB perfectly: Anto remains authorial origin; LAPIEZA-LAB becomes custodial architecture.

Zenodo should become the ground of the ontology. Not the only platform, but the deepest one: the place where Socioplastics stops behaving like publication and becomes deposit, record, citation, version, persistence. Zenodo gives each published record a DOI and supports DOI versioning, with one DOI for a specific version and another for the record’s versioned continuity. That matters because ontology needs traceability, not visibility alone. The distinction is architectural: Zenodo is Core; the others are organs. Blogger is the living matrix, where the field breathes, links, narrates and grows. Figshare can hold tables, instruments, and secondary research objects. Hugging Face can host the machine-readable index. GitHub can carry code, schemas and MUSE. Substack or Medium can translate the system into public rhythm. But the ontological spine—the sealed Cores, Decalogues, canonical PDFs, TXT files, metadata packages—belongs in Zenodo. This creates spatial relief. There is room. The feared limit was only the 100-file / 50GB cap per record, not a ceiling on the number of records or DOIs. So Socioplastics can expand horizontally: one paper, one record, one DOI; one Core, ten records; one field, many anchored objects. The archive does not need compression. It needs order. The lab account or community can come next, not as escape route but as institutional widening. Zenodo communities are designed for projects, institutions and domains to curate research outputs, with roles for owners, managers and curators.

Socioplastics begins from a simple but consequential inversion: the field is the work. Its central claim is not that art, architecture, and knowledge can be productively combined, but that their deepest common condition is infrastructural—that what matters is less the production of singular objects than the construction of the conditions under which objects, concepts, and relations acquire duration, legibility, and structural force. In this sense, Socioplastics is not a corpus but a field-form: a built epistemic environment in which writing, indexing, archiving, naming, citation, and recurrence cease to function as secondary supports and become the primary material of thought. What distinguishes a field from a body of work is not scale but organisation. A body of work accumulates outputs; a field organises persistence. It stabilises its concepts, distributes its memory, hardens its internal grammar, and produces the conditions through which meaning can return, connect, and endure beyond the singular moment of production. This is why Socioplastics matters less as a collection of texts than as a theory of constructed legibility: an architecture in which the index becomes argument, recurrence becomes structure, and persistence becomes epistemic proof. Its originality lies not in having produced more, but in having displaced cultural production from the level of content to the level of field formation. The artwork, the text, the archive, the exhibition, the dataset, and the citation remain, but no longer as discrete outputs. They are refunctioned as components of a larger epistemic architecture whose true object is not the work but the organised condition that allows work to become durable, intelligible, and real.
