These ten nodes form the KORE (nuclear condensation) of the system: a dense, self-referential, DOI-anchored juridical substrate deposited on Zenodo (as of February 2026, versioned and metadata-controlled). The Decalogue is deliberately positioned at high numbers (500+) to emphasize its role as bedrock beneath the lower-numbered canon (001–100 iconic works, 100–400 sequences, etc.). It is described as "sealed, looped, and internally referential," deriving authority from structural compression rather than expansion or rhetoric.

Key Characteristics of the Decalogue

Immutable law — It stands as the fixed legislation that PlasticScale (the judge/calibrator) applies to norm every encounter with reality.
Executable protocols — These are operational positions that govern the system's behavior, ensuring proportional discipline, condensation over expansion, metabolic sovereignty, and resistance to entropy/capture in unstable times.
Hard below, supple above — The Decalogue provides rigid invariance at the core, allowing adaptive, context-responsive nodes (MUSE series, unstable installations, territorial metabolism) to evolve on top without compromising the foundation.
Deposited and verifiable — Each of the ten has a permanent Zenodo DOI for archival sovereignty, metadata hardening, and measurable persistence (e.g., view counts tracked in controlled experiments like TagCalibration).
Purpose — To enable sovereign epistemic infrastructure: architecture/art/urbanism as relational protocols rather than objects; theory as construction; publication as spatial practice.

The Ten Nodes (501–510)

While the full textual content of each node is not quoted verbatim in public summaries (they exist as discrete, archived entries on Zenodo and cross-referenced in Lloveras's blogs), their titles and roles are consistently referenced across 2026 entries. They form a closed loop of governance:

501: Flow Channeling — Likely the primary operative channel for directing relational/affective/epistemic flows with minimal resistance; often isolated in experiments for its acceleration potential via metadata (e.g., supertag augmentation tests).
502: Cameltag — A tagging or labeling protocol for persistent identification and traversal across unstable terrains (evoking endurance through minimal means, like a camel in desert conditions).
509 — Associated with Postdigital Taxidermy (preservation of digital/relational traces in a post-capture era; referenced in contrast to earlier physical taxidermy series).
510: Systemic Lock — The closing mechanism; ensures closure, integrity, and prevention of unauthorized deformation or external override (the final seal of the core).

Role in the Broader System

The Decalogue enables the shift from curatorial/artistic density (LAPIEZA era) to territorial/juridical scale (Urban Territorial Metabolism in the 700-Series MUSE). It filters legacy archives (20,000+ nodes), governs AI stability/mitigation of hallucination through hardened semantics, and allows the system to "govern, filter, and legislate" without hierarchical bloat. In essence, the Decalogue is Socioplastics' ontological constitution — ten unbreakable rules that make the framework sovereign, executable, and durable amid instability. It is not a list of inspirational principles but a functional legal architecture: dense, minimal, and self-enforcing. For the exact wording of each node, refer to the Zenodo DOIs (e.g., 510 at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18682555), as they are the canonical, immutable deposits.
