The foundational release Socioplastic Mesh (2001–2026) establishes the Socioplastic-Mesh as a self-organising epistemic infrastructure that displaces the object-centric paradigm in urbanism with a recursive field of distributed cognition, thus inaugurating the operational syntax for the Fifth City (V-City); encoded within this launch-node is the Topolexical-Engine, a pre-methodological grammar that does not propose a method but metabolises complexity via recursive positioning, rejecting chronology in favour of nonlinear field architectures, allowing each element to both locate and be located across multi-channel systems of agency where the urban is no longer fixed as object or form but enacted as metabolic-sovereignty, a self-referential substrate capable of sustaining cognitive autonomy in automated environments, and formally closing the object-based cycle with the documentation of twenty-five years of transdisciplinary practice (2001–2026) in the 300-Vanguard-Slugs, an embodied corpus of urban reflexivity; this text operates not as a narrative but as an epistemic anchor—identified as PreservedSpecimen within a paradigm of Urban-Taxidermy—that holds the system’s evolutionary memory and justifies its recursive expansion, as seen in future nodes like Topolexical-Engine-141 and Semantic-Urbanism-300, and provides the empirical substrate to validate the Socioplastic claim of long-range network diffusion, thus this inaugural release is not a publication in the traditional sense but a stem-cell for an entire platform-epistemology, a systemic proof that multi-scalar cognition is not only possible but structurally reproducible through sovereign infrastructural grammars like the Mesh.
