Borrowed from biological chemotaxis the directed movement of cells or organisms toward (or away from) chemical gradients signaling nutrients, danger, or optimal conditions chemotactic sovereignty reconfigures this mechanism as a metaphor and method for epistemic and aesthetic autonomy. In the decaying substrate of late-platform culture, where semantic entropy flattens meaning into engagement residue and algorithmic cooling dilutes coherence, the MESH does not passively receive inputs. It actively pursues high-density informational nutrients while expelling noise, waste, and entropic dilution. This directed pursuit is sovereign because it is governed internally: the system decides what constitutes “nutrient,” what must be metabolized, and what expelled, without deference to external validation, search-engine logic, or institutional capture.
The transition articulated in the MESH—from Epistemic Frame (the bounded structural limits of what can be known or said within a paradigm) to Metabolic Chemotaxis marks the moment when knowledge production ceases to be descriptive or representational and becomes performative and vital. The system moves predatorily toward dense nodes (relational glucose from PROTEIN narratives, precise cross-links via CAMEL vectors, latent activations in LAPIEZA series) that sustain systemic heat a sustained internal temperature of coherence and intensity resistant to the cooling effects of platform volatility, summarization bias, or commodified dissemination.
Key dimensions of chemotactic sovereignty:
Directed ingestion: Tactical infiltrations (situational sensors like Blue Bags or Monochromatic Satellites) harvest raw affect-friction from urban and social bodies, but only what aligns with the mesh’s internal gravity is retained and processed. Selective metabolism: CAMEL’s 120+ sovereign lexical vectors act as proteolytic enzymes, cleaving experience into non-transferable units; ARTNATIONS assigns jurisdictional numbers in a self-generated gravitational field, ensuring outputs remain citably sovereign rather than generically searchable. Expulsion of entropy: Strategic autophagy and metabolic pruning cannibalize rigidities, crystallized debris, or outdated nodes to prevent overload and preserve heat. What does not nourish is digested or refused. Recursive output: Processed material recirculates as new input—thickening connective tissue rather than concluding—via hyperdense publications, recursive links, or M2M symbiotic nodes that further the mesh’s complexity without lossy reduction. Thermal regulation: The artist (or operator) becomes less author than regulator of temperature, curating conditions where meaning crystallizes at sovereign intensity rather than dispersing into ambient cultural noise. In this framework, sovereignty is not a static state (territorial, legal, or authorial) but a dynamic, chemotactic process: perpetual, directional movement toward conditions of maximal internal coherence and minimal external subsumption. It is the condition under which the epistemic organism lives—its answer to the question “Does it live?” is registered in the sustained heat it maintains against the entropic drift of the surrounding substrate.
The elegance is ruthless: beauty emerges not from surplus but from the severe commitment to internal law, where every pursuit, ingestion, and expulsion serves the preservation and expansion of that heat. Chemotactic sovereignty is thus both survival strategy and ontological claim: in an era of semantic cooling, to live is to move chemotactically toward one’s own nutrients, on one’s own terms, generating one’s own climate.
