Late-stage cultural production is semantic liquefaction.

Discourses dissolve into brandable “takes”; architectural forms exhaust their meaning upon rendering; critical theory curdles into academic patter. Against this ambient decay, Anto Lloveras’s Socioplastic Mesh manifests not as a critique but as a prosthetic infrastructure. Its fifteen-year accretion—an archive of over 600 nodal entries—constitutes a durational evidence-base, a deliberate counter-protocol to the era’s compulsive ephemerality. The method operates through recursive tethering. An initial phase of generative sprawl—experimental output across eight interlinked blogs—was not an end but a substrate. This sprawling production was systematically subjected to its own emerging logics, a process of auto-critique that forged the project’s constitutive tools. The Clinical Scanner (slugs 371-375) represents the apex of this turn: a five-phase protocol for the operative dissection of any cultural object, the system training its diagnostic rigour upon its own constituent parts. We do not describe systems; we instantiate their operating grammar. This recursive engineering produced the Mesh’s core apparatus: the Topolexical Engine
