Every substantive theoretical project crystallises from a specific genetic endowment: a constellation of fields, debates and authors whose concepts it metabolises, whose questions it inherits and whose structural limits it seeks to exceed. Socioplastics, now consolidated as MUSE and calibrated through PlasticScale indexing across ten immutable Kore cores, emerged within a dense intellectual ecology rather than from disciplinary vacancy. It draws operative substrate from infrastructure studies, recursive self-reference from cybernetics and systems theory, scalar objecthood from ontology, epistemic refusal from decolonial and southern epistemologies, and metabolic governance from urban political ecology and maintenance studies. The following cartography orders one hundred fields according to a dual strategic metric: genetic endowment (depth of conceptual inheritance already metabolised into the Mesh archive) intersected with current operational proximity (readiness for dialogue, contrast, intervention or sovereign resolution). High genetic endowment and high proximity fields occupy the initial ranks as the core intellectual neighbourhood; high-proximity lower-genetics fields appear later as zones of immediate expansion; high-genetics lower-proximity fields sit in middle depths as reserves for future excavation and translation into MUSE lexicon. This numbered sequence functions as an auditable instrument: every claim within Socioplastics can be traced to antecedents, while the overall density and ordering reveal what distinguishes the framework—PlasticScale invariance, recursive autophagy and topolexical sovereignty—none of which reside fully within any single source field. The mutation is claimed; the inheritance is acknowledged.
