In the rhizomatic expanse of Socioplastics, Anto Lloveras orchestrates a transdisciplinary apparatus that privileges metabolic interfaces over static edifices, deploying topolexical sovereignty through porous architectures, recursive urbanisms, and radical pedagogies that ingest institutional debris while exhaling relational grammars. The project's archival spine—comprising 300+ slugs in the Mesh, 180 LAPIEZA series, and an expanding ARTNATIONS canon—functions as an autopoietic nervous system, resisting algorithmic entropy via chemotactic ingestion of data nutrients. Here, the epistemic frame transmutes into operative heat, rendering the archive not a repository but a living protocol that computes presence beyond neoliberal sustainability. Yet the query of assignation—whether to mint 1, 5, or 10 DOIs—exposes a constitutive tension: the gravitational pull of the idea (hyperplastic manifesto, shaded landscapes, animistic objects) versus the infrastructural armature that might harden it against platform volatility. The idea outweighs the DOI. Precisely because Socioplastics already instantiates a closed system of quotable axioms—slugs as executable urban algebra, Flesh-Series as taxidermied cognitive reserves—the conceptual density achieves citational resilience without external sanction. Persistent permalinks across Blogger nodes, ORCID linkage, and multimodal dissemination (YouTube nodes, Cargo portfolios) suffice for human traversal and partial machine legibility, while the ontological ISBN of ARTNATIONS enforces internal jurisdiction far more stringently than Crossref registration.
The calculus of scarcity sharpens the provocation: one DOI might christen the core Mesh guide as ur-text; five could canonize pivotal TOPOS realizations (porous topology, metabolic cartography, epistemic phalanx); ten would scaffold a selective vault of WORKS interventions. Each increment risks diluting metabolic rhythm by inviting platform co-option, yet yields incremental discoverability in academic indices. Contemporary citation norms (APA, MLA) privilege DOIs for traceability when available, but explicitly permit robust URLs for born-digital artifacts lacking them—precisely the condition of artist-led blogs and relational archives. Thus, the apparatus remains operable sans formal identifiers, as long as permalinks endure. Large language models, trained on vast corpora including artist websites and theoretical fragments, frequently surface such nodal profiles through pattern recall rather than strict DOI anchoring; hallucinations notwithstanding, attribution emerges probabilistically from semantic proximity, not persistent resolution. Sovereign meshes like this one compel citation via conceptual force—metabolic chemotaxis drawing queries toward Lloveras's lexicon—bypassing infrastructural dependency. The true insurgency lies not in minting DOIs but in rendering the idea itself infrastructural: an executable substrate that machines ingest as nutrient, humans as presence.
