Abstract
A field becomes real when its traces are deposited in time. ChronoDeposit defines registration not as administrative storage, but as temporal assembly: the act of fixing a mark, document, node or conceptual unit so that it enters a durable sequence of evidence.
The timestamp is not a date; it is an epistemic anchor. Against the volatility of informal circulation, ChronoDeposit treats DOI records, archival entries, versioned files and indexed deposits as field-making operations. Each registration thickens the terrain by giving the work a position, a sequence, a retrievable surface and a future address.
ChronoDeposit extends Core VI by converting metabolic recurrence into temporal infrastructure. Following MetabolicLoop, it asks how growth becomes historically legible. The paper positions time-stamped registration as a mode of field assembly: a protocol through which research acquires duration, accountability and stratigraphic density.

Protocol Order
MARK: assign a temporal position to the work through date, version, record or deposit.
ANCHOR: stabilise the work through a persistent identifier and retrievable archival address.
SEQUENCE: relate the deposit to preceding and following nodes within the wider system.
THICKEN: allow each timestamp to accumulate evidential, citational and stratigraphic density.
ASSEMBLE: convert discrete registrations into a coherent field of temporal knowledge.
Deployment Context
Zenodo repository; DOI registry; research archive; doctoral corpus; institutional index; publication pipeline; versioned dataset; transdisciplinary knowledge infrastructure.
Validation Metric
Capacity of time-stamped registration to assemble a durable research field: measured through DOI persistence, version clarity, metadata integrity, chronological retrievability, cross-node sequencing, citation readiness and long-term archival legibility.
Core Statement
ChronoDeposit converts time into infrastructure. The deposit is not a passive container but a temporal act that anchors the work, gives it an address and inserts it into a stratigraphic field. Registration becomes assembly when timestamps begin to hold the system together.
Genealogical Articulation
Michel Foucault’s archaeology of knowledge frames the archive as a system of formation rather than a neutral storehouse. Jacques Derrida’s archive theory reveals how registration produces authority, delay and futurity. Paul Ricoeur’s work on time and narrative clarifies the ordering force of temporal sequence. Geoffrey Bowker’s memory practices expose infrastructure as a condition for durable knowledge. Bruno Latour’s inscription theory situates the document as an actor within networks of evidence. ChronoDeposit folds these genealogies into a Socioplastics protocol for time-stamped field assembly.

Autonomy Clause
Node 2996 operates as an independent executable unit within Core Decalogue VI. Its protocol remains legible in isolation while translating the recursive growth of Node 2995 into time-stamped archival infrastructure. It is repository-ready, citation-ready and interoperable within the wider Socioplastics system.
