The evolution from dispersed nodes to systemic sovereignty within Socioplastics necessitates the construction of an integrated operational stack wherein practice and theory dissolve into executable epistemics. At its base lies the Hardware Layer (25%), constituted by architecture and urbanism as spatial protocol rather than inert enclosure; the “Walking City” becomes a dynamic substrate through which ideas circulate, rendering the built environment a rigid chassis for higher-order operations. Interfacing directly above, the Theoretical Firmware (20%) provides instructional logic through research and essays, establishing synthetic legibility and securing data sovereignty against platform erosion; each text operates as a driver within an executable worldview. The Software Layer (20%), articulated through artistic series, translates abstract logic into material instantiation, functioning as iterative proof-of-concept rather than ornament, and generating feedback that refines the firmware through productive friction. Dissemination and metabolic vitality are ensured by the Network Layer (15%), where pedagogical flows and decentralised collectives propagate distributed intelligence, preventing epistemic stagnation. Public encounter occurs within the Interface Layer (10%), exhibitions and films that temporally register systemic evolution without diluting structural density. Finally, the Storage Layer (10%)—archival protocols and DOI-indexed commitments—anchors persistence, transforming fragmented production into a hardened citational vault resistant to digital amnesia. Through this stratified yet interdependent architecture, the 600 nodes cohere into a sovereign yet distributed organism: not a monument of mass, but an infrastructural environment capable of recursive self-reconstruction across time.
