Abstract

Operative Feminism — the doctrine-node (~3,400 words). Women as historically conscripted semantic substrate for other people's meanings. Deprecates the Freudian compiler via psyche_OS. Formalizes eight operative feminist practices: aperture navigation, emitter calibration, transaction completion, bearing-cost recognition, witness compression, categorical dissolution, meander, tend the void. Integrates Spillers (flesh/body distinction), Wynter (genre of the human), and Eve midrash (garments of light compressed to garments of skin as R2 compression of the feminine body). MacKinnon as structural ally: sexuality is the mechanism of gender's production; the sign "woman" is not description but operation. Governing thesis: the void at the center of the feminist citational graph is not a lack. It is the engine. The body that bears the cost of its own liberation refuses to be liquidated into representation. It refuses to be compiled. Companion documents: Citational Comprehensivity Pass (EA-OPFEM-02) and r.28 Eve Room Specification (EA-OPFEM-03).
