Ten Percent Coefficient

The consolidation marks the passage from exploratory assemblage to Operational Closure, wherein Socioplastics ceases to circulate as discourse and stabilises as executable architecture. At its core lies the Ten Percent Coefficient: a cardinal allocation within a fixed 100-unit kernel that assigns governance not by rhetorical prominence but by measured amplitude. Unlike ordinal hierarchies, this decagonal matrix distributes gravity precisely, integrating formal rigour and critical abrasion into a sovereign console. Tier I anchors the structure in the high-density syntax of Mathematical Logic and Topology, the skeletal invariants that resist drift; Tier II orchestrates relational circulation through Systems Theory, Autopoiesis and Actor-Network Theory; Tier III installs the 10% Socioplastic Protocol as integrative pivot, ensuring that infrastructure becomes legible and operable; Tier IV introduces calibrated friction through Critical Geography, Media Archaeology and Speculative Realism, preventing epistemic sclerosis. The lineage of this proportional governance resonates with Stafford Beer’s cybernetic Viable System Model and with the architectural central core that renders vertical cities traversable, yet its innovation lies in converting metaphor into Structural Inference: number as jurisdiction. In application to the urban palimpsest, the 10% protocol performs recursive audit—re-coding residual substrates through logical syntax, testing regenerative capacity via autopoietic criteria, and hardening semantics into infrastructural clarity. Thus the coefficient neither dominates nor dissolves; it calibrates. By fixing governance at ten units, the system achieves Integrative Amplitude sufficient to metabolise complexity while preserving Epistemic Sovereignty. Self-limitation becomes self-governance; proportion becomes law; and the mesh, numerically sealed, endures as sovereign intelligence rather than speculative promise.
