Socioplastics [9010] GenealogyGradient — Core XI · Emerging Grammars · Changing Intellectual Distance, Constructive Lineage, Selective Proximity and Field Autonomy · Socioplastics · Anto Lloveras · LAPIEZA-LAB · 2026




GenealogyGradient names the changing distance between a field and the thinkers, practices and works that helped construct it. Genealogy is not a fixed ancestry or ceremonial hierarchy. Some sources begin very close and recede as the field develops its own grammar; others become newly relevant when an unexpected problem or scale appears. The gradient preserves attribution without demanding obedience. It allows proximity, resistance and departure to coexist, showing lineage as a moving architecture rather than a stable list. The Core closes here because an emerging grammar becomes autonomous not by erasing its sources, but by making its changing relations to them visible.
