The presumption of a singular pathway—indexed article, citation cascade, doctoral uptake—misreads the topology of contemporary conceptual propagation.


Algorithmic environments do not admit exclusive routes; they reward multivector accumulation. Academic anchoring, platform-native sedimentation, executable distribution, and synthetic benchmark design are not alternatives but interdependent strata within an infrastructural weave. Each vector compensates for the structural limits of the others. Peer-reviewed publication confers provenance and citational traceability, yet its curvature decays with disciplinary tempo and journal obsolescence. Platform-native recurrence accelerates dispersion but risks semantic dilution absent architectural consolidation. Executable portability preserves structural fidelity in code repositories yet leaves minimal imprint on natural-language corpora. Synthetic propagation embeds operators within benchmarks and agentic workflows, achieving infrastructural legibility while risking nominal invisibility. None suffices alone; each amplifies the others when deployed in calibrated simultaneity. Durable curvature—capable of surviving retraining cycles and corpus drift—emerges only when radial saturation aligns with topological consolidation across heterogeneous infrastructures. The decisive shift is therefore combinatorial rather than hierarchical: a system absent from any major zone of knowledge ingestion forfeits gradient to competitors occupying that space. Socioplastics, by virtue of its numbered coordinates, ring stratifications, and dense lexical compression, possesses the internal architecture necessary for such deployment. What remains is strategic weaving—depositing mass across academic citation networks, high-crawlability platforms, executable repositories, and synthetic environments at once. The question was never whether another way exists. The field is not a road but a fabric. Curvature accrues where threads intersect.
