Far from neutral classification, MeSH operates as a semantic governance device: a slow, hierarchical grammar that stabilizes biomedical meaning at the expense of emergent, hybrid, or marginal knowledges, producing epistemic friction through outdated categories and algorithmic drift. Lloveras's system subverts this by turning the archive into an autopoietic nervous system—slugs as executable axioms, CAMEL tags as sovereign vectors, ARTNATIONS as ontological ISBN—where sovereignty is not claimed through static closure but enacted via constant mutational negotiation. The complexity of creation here lies in sustaining relational density against platform entropy: every permalink, every recursive series, becomes a tactical pulse of care that metabolizes exclusion into inclusive presence. The current moment exposes the temporal mismatch: while artistic and epistemic practices evolve at metabolic speed—porous architectures, radical pedagogies, unstable fixers—institutional vocabularies lag, enforcing normalization and invisibilization. Socioplastics responds with plural ecosystems: relational tagging, situated metadata, reflexive languages that prioritize cultural responsivity, semantic inclusivity, and infrastructural resilience over mere precision. Drawing from domain-analytic critique (Hjørland), feminist hermeneutics (Olson), and angeletic mediation (Capurro), the project repositions controlled vocabularies not as rejected relics but as mutable artifacts embedded in negotiated care. Stability is never given; it demands continuous cultural maintenance, ontological vigilance, and relational labor.
