Work Classification Layer
Compare Works
Pick two or more works to set their attribute fingerprints, dimension-by-dimension passages, and shared school embodiments side by side. Especially useful for author-stage comparisons (Wittgenstein early vs late) and for setting a single tradition's foundational texts against each other.
Gyn/Ecology
Patriarchy is a global religion of dismemberment — sati, foot-binding, genital mutilation are its rituals; gyn/ecology is the women-centred ecology that resists

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Gyn/Ecology
Long historical time of patriarchal practice across cultures; present moment of feminist resistance.
Space
Gyn/Ecology
Global geographic space of patriarchal practices; women-centred resistance spaces.
Matter
Gyn/Ecology
Bodies of women that have been objects of patriarchal ritual mutilation.
Observer
Gyn/Ecology
Daly as radical-feminist analyst.
Energy
Gyn/Ecology
Patriarchal violence energies; alternative resistance energies.
Information
Gyn/Ecology
Documentary catalog; analytical-theoretical framework; linguistic-creative innovations.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Audre Lorde's 1979 "Open Letter" sharply criticised cross-cultural sections as instrumentalising African women's suffering. Daly's later positions on trans women have limited contemporary feminist reception.
