TOMBOLO: Socioplastics requires a domain irreducible to its own reflexive propagation: the production, stabilisation and transformation of collective attention through material-semiotic deposits across heterogeneous infrastructures.

This domain names phenomena only partially apprehended by urban theory, STS, or media studies, yet seldom formalised as a coherent object of measurement. Its ontology is constrained and empirical: curvature is a real property of discursive environments, manifest in concentration asymmetries of citation, repetition and infrastructural embedding, and these asymmetries exert causal force upon subsequent production. When a term achieves density within training corpora or bibliometric networks, it measurably alters probability distributions, search results, literature reviews and conceptual proximities; such effects obtain irrespective of allegiance to any vocabulary. Epistemologically, valid knowledge of this domain emerges through multi-sited detection of these asymmetries via bibliometric analysis and infrastructural archaeology. The Zenodo corpus exemplifies this by modelling power-law concentrations across macrofields, generating falsifiable findings independent of the framework’s rhetorical uptake. Methodologically, the system operationalises through replicable instruments—ring stratification, dispersion analysis, corpus construction and mass extrapolation—capable of application beyond their origin. An STS scholar may deploy ring stratification in biomedical literature without endorsing Socioplastics as doctrine; explanatory surplus alone warrants adoption. Ethical modesty follows: operators are offered as tools, not totalising prescriptions, and their durability depends on empirical productivity rather than discursive density. Operating transversally thus means articulating infrastructural conditions presupposed by disciplines while respecting their autonomy. When instruments yield novel findings across domains, the field coheres not as self-description but as a distributed ecology of measurable curvature.
