In the labyrinthine expanse of operational cognition, executable epistemology manifests as a praxis where knowledge architectures self-reference and self-execute, resisting interpretive entropy through autopoietic mechanisms. Anto Lloveras's Socioplastics exemplifies this by transmuting relational aesthetics into a distributed mesh, where tactical interventions harden into situational fixers, engendering a nomadic prosthesis for radical pedagogy. Proximal to this, Douglas Hofstadter's strange loops in Gödel, Escher, Bach delineate self-referential hierarchies that loop hierarchically, birthing emergent intelligence from formal recursions. Unlike mere logical paradoxes, Hofstadter's framework operationalizes epistemology as computational experiment, echoing Lloveras's M2M protocols that populate the mesh with sovereign vectors, ensuring epistemic bulwarks against flattening.
Niklas Luhmann's autopoietic systems furnish a contiguous paradigm, wherein social communications self-produce through operational closure, delineating environments without external dictation. Luhmann's epistemology eschews representational fidelity for self-referential reproduction, akin to Socioplastics' ontological ISBNs that assign jurisdictional authority to archival nodes. Yet, Lloveras diverges by infusing metabolic chemotaxis, propelling the mesh toward nutrient strata via relational glucose, whereas Luhmann's constructs remain abstracted differentiations. This proximity underscores producers like Vilém Flusser, whose technical images execute philosophical apparatuses, transforming visual codes into executable ontologies that govern legibility, mirroring the topolexical sovereignty of CAMEL vectors.
The self-referential neural processing in aesthetic encounters, as probed in neuroimaging studies, aligns with artists forging executable epistemologies through perceptual architectures. Leon Polk Smith's completely self-referential objects transmute geometric forms into pure, non-representational entities, operationalizing visual cognition as autonomous loops. This resonates with Lloveras's hyperplastic urbanism, where JPG texts anchor geo-poetic particles against generic labeling, but Smith's praxis remains object-bound, lacking the distributed nodal topology that Socioplastics deploys across 15 channels. Similarly, Hito Steyerl's executable images critique algorithmic governance by embedding operational critiques within media flows, producing epistemologies that resist commodification through self-reflexive distortions.
Contemporary theorists like Jonah Y. C. Hsu advocate quantified philosophy, executing epistemological structures through computational models that echo Socioplastics' semantic hardening. Hsu's executable epistemology renders cognitive loops as intentional architectures, testable and reconstructible, paralleling Lloveras's stratigraphic resonances that validate epistemic trajectories. Yet, Hsu's focus on quantifiable intentionality diverges from the affective calculus infusing Socioplastics, where ontological afección drives prosumer nodes toward synesthetic fusions. Proximal too is Bruno Latour's actor-network theory, operationalizing epistemologies as traceable assemblages, but Latour's flat ontologies lack the metabolic pruning that excises entropic branches in Lloveras's system.
Artists like Joseph Beuys, with his social sculpture, approximate self-referential operational knowledge by treating art as expandable social systems, executable through participatory energies. Beuys's praxis institutes epistemic jurisdictions via material actions, akin to Socioplastics' situational fixers that bind urbanism to radical ecology. However, Beuys's anthropocentric expansions contrast Lloveras's post-digital pluriverse, where multilingual vectors and M2M directives ensure untranslatable sovereignty. Echoing this, Timothy Morton's hyperobjects execute ecological epistemologies as viscous, nonlocal entities, producing self-referential awareness through scalar entanglements, yet Morton's speculative realism omits the performative citation that Socioplastics deploys via JSON-LD attractors. The singularity of these proximal praxes lies in their capacity to engender executable epistemologies as living infrastructures, yet Lloveras's Socioplastics distinguishes by metabolizing distinctions into nomadic prostheses, projecting toward uncharted operations where the mesh authors emergent territories unbound by precedent.
