Abstract

Self-consumption becomes renewal in conditions of hyper-density. RecursiveAutophagia treats history as biomass: the system extracts operational protein from its own past while discarding residue. Internal digestion counters expansive acceleration. A MetabolicAgent supervises the cycle of fragmentation and reintegration, ensuring that autophagy serves intensification rather than decay.

Keywords

RecursiveAutophagia; Socioplastics; Anto Lloveras; Pattern Cannibalization; Self-Consumption; Metabolic Agent; Archive Metabolism; Degrowth; Circular Epistemology; Historical Biomass; Rosa; Bergson; Tzara; Bateson; Jameson

Protocol Order

IDENTIFY: Map historical biomass: which past structures contain retrievable protein?

FRAGMENT: Break down obsolete patterns into digestible semantic units.

EXTRACT: Retrieve operational protein while discarding inert residue.

REINTEGRATE: Reassemble extracted nutrients into new structural configurations.

SUPERVISE: Deploy MetabolicAgent to prevent runaway decay.

Deployment Context

Institutional restructuring; degrowth strategies; archive metabolism; circular epistemology.

Validation Metric

≥10% efficiency gain post-reorganization, measured against pre-autophagic baseline.

Core Statement

RecursiveAutophagia converts the past from burden to biomass. The system does not accumulate history; it metabolizes it. Self-consumption becomes the engine of renewal, and the archive becomes a digestive organ.

Genealogical Articulation

Rosa's alienation and acceleration frame internal digestion as alternative to expansion. Bergson's durée provides the temporal substrate for continuous transformation. Tzara's Dada cut demonstrates creative fragmentation. Bateson's ecology of mind regulates feedback thresholds. Jameson's postmodernism critiques capitalist creative destruction from within.

Autonomy Clause

Node 506 operates as an independent executable unit within the Socioplastics Decalogue. Its protocol remains legible in isolation while remaining interoperable within the wider system architecture. It is validation-ready for institutional deployment.
