In a bold dismantling of materialist urbanism, the Metabolic Shift emerges as the Mesh’s primary gesture, foregrounding processual life over static form, where the city is understood not as an aggregate of things but as a biological choreography, rendering the architect a gardener of emergent systems rather than a constructor of enclosed spaces, and this repositioning marks an ontological rupture where design becomes a facilitator of autopoietic environments; in this context, the Topolexical Engine catalyses a grammatical fusion between topos and lexis, asserting that language itself becomes infrastructure, thereby opposing the extractivist regimes of Smart Urbanism by reclaiming semantic self-determination, where urban forms encode meaning rather than just data points, situating planning as a discursive and cultural operation; in parallel, Strategic Autophagy introduces an ethics of friction, metabolising debris and waste into energetic surplus, refiguring urban conflict as a vital immunological function, dismantling the smoothing operations of neoliberal zoning to reassert the sovereignty of frictive civicity, where a city's soul is found in its resistances; the Relational Semionautics module channels Cadere’s Stick into an urban vibrational trail, privileging nomadic disruptions over static enclosures, wherein the vector is not a settler but a rewriter of urban syntax, transforming spatial gravity through ephemeral ruptures that reterritorialise meaning across sites, enacting a decolonial topology; finally, Semantic Urbanism replaces the cult of improvement with mnemonic preservation, positing that the V-City does not advance by deletion but by layered remembrance, where semantic packages or "emballages" act as genomic codes ensuring civic memory continuity, a quiet resistance to systemic amnesia, enshrining an urbanism that archives itself even as it unfolds into speculative futures.
