The epistemic and archival dimension is equally crucial. Borgman shows that data are scholarly infrastructures shaped by disciplines, standards, metadata, incentives and absence. Gitelman radicalises the point: data are never raw, because they must be imagined, selected and formatted as data before they can circulate as knowledge. Here **SyntheticLegibility** becomes the decisive Socioplastics operator: it names the work of making dense, sensory and situated knowledge readable across bodies, archives, datasets and machines without reducing its complexity to a simplified signal. Sensory infrastructure therefore includes not only streets and atmospheres but also archives, datasets and scholarly systems. The question is not whether data should replace experience or whether experience should reject data. The question is how sensory life becomes recordable without being flattened, and how records remain accountable to the environments from which they are drawn.

Socioplastics becomes operational precisely at this point: where legibility is not an aesthetic state but an infrastructural practice of making relations readable, citable, testable and returnable. Its transdisciplinary force lies in converting urban symptoms, archival traces, digital objects, platform outputs, displacement pressures and material evidence into a shared field of interpretation. Here SemanticHardening becomes the decisive Socioplastics operator: it names the process through which a diagnostic term gains durability by repeated use, citation, indexing and public circulation, until it can resist institutional vagueness, algorithmic drift and weak conceptual capture. The system does not merely store concepts; it hardens them into operators capable of travelling between art, urbanism, STS, environmental thought, infrastructure, media and political economy. Diagnostic legibility gives Socioplastics the capacity to read not only what appears, but what must be structurally produced for appearance to occur.
