The Women's Dublin
Dimension 2 · Type I, Inventory (extract a category, enumerate, tabulate) · Build status: built · Panel score: 7
Chair's pick of the Type-I three (anchor A11). Built to every register it budgets: HTML, presentation, and — 19 July 2026 — the document PDF. The diagram is skipped by budget. Amended 4 August 2026, chair's resolution on 'women-drawn-never-named' (data/author-items.json, under the recorded delegation of 2026-08-04): dimension 2 now also carries a separately denominated register, §drawn-never-named in women.html and women.print.html — the women the 1922 text draws and never names. Its admission rule is stated in the artifact; its passages are machine-verified; it is UNCOUNTED by design — no total on any surface, because a count would assert the reachability the sixteen have and the register exists to mark its absence (L-38). Its rows are partitioned out of the census tally by the section's data-denominated="uncounted" marker; the census's 181 is unchanged.
- The claim
- Collected as they actually enter the 1922 text, the women of Dublin appear far more often at one remove — a letter, a photograph, an arm, the subject of men's talk — than on stage; and the text's grant of an inner life runs almost opposite to a woman's independence.
- The unit
- the woman (~15) — income, mobility, interiority; and how she enters the text
- What it shows
- Of sixteen women, Molly alone is given a sustained inside — and she is the least mobile, forty pages without leaving the bed. Milly, the only young woman with a stated wage, and Mrs Riordan, the rentier with her own means, reach the reader almost entirely as paper and others' recollection; Mrs Dignam and Ann Hathaway exist as men's arithmetic and men's theory. How a woman enters the text is the dimension's real subject — a fact about the book, not a flaw in the map (learning L-02, from catch C-02).
The artifact
- The Women's Dublin — the deck (audience cards) (HTML) — An audience deck: image cards without explanations; the presenter's material is kept off the public site (C-19). How each woman enters the text is recorded per anchors A3 and A5.
- The Women's Dublin — sixteen women by income, mobility, interiority, and how each enters the text (HTML) — Collected against the 1922 text (public domain, quoted freely) with hours from base document 03; adversarially verified, corrections disclosed in the document's caveats. How each woman enters — on stage, as a letter, a body part, or men's talk — is recorded per anchors A3 and A5.
- The Women's Dublin — the document (hyperlinked PDF) (PDF) — Built by this project's pipeline, 19 July 2026 — hyperlinked and cross-linked per base document 00: contents to section to back, and an outbound link to the public-domain 1922 text it quotes throughout. Sixteen women, 181 appearances, every one collected against the 1922 text and adversarially verified; the corrections are disclosed in the document's own caveats. How each woman enters the text — on stage, as a letter, a body part, or men's talk — is recorded per anchors A3 and A5. Episode titles are scaffolding (A2).

The rule that built it
- The inclusion rule
- "This dimension collects the women as they actually enter the 1922 text — how each earns or is kept, where each can and cannot go, and whether the text grants her an inside or only a surface." Boundary: "Excluded as tropes, not persons (the C-02 boundary)". Stated in artifacts/womens-dublin/women.html (the tropes-not-persons boundary in the What-was-left-out section).
- What was rejected under it
- Kept: the "What was left out" section, artifacts/womens-dublin/women.html (the What-was-left-out section, after the register) — (1) near-misses cut for overlap: Miss Dunne, Zoe Higgins, Mrs M'Guinness and Mrs M. E. White, Nurse Callan, the applewoman; (2) routed to Dimension 3, not lost: Queen Victoria, Lady Dudley/the vicereine, Mary Kelly, the courted slavey; (3) excluded as tropes, not persons: Kathleen ni Houlihan/Granuaile/Old Gummy Granny, the sea as "great sweet mother", the Blessed Virgin, Eve/Helen/Penelope and Deasy's catalogue; (4) Katey, Boody and Maggy Dedalus folded into Dilly's entry.
- What kind of thing it claims
- A REPORTED DISTRIBUTION — under joint session 09's discriminating test (an inventory can only be attacked at its inclusion rule; a reading at its claim): Its claim field (data/dimensions.json) states a frequency over its own census — women "appear far more often at one remove... than on stage" — plus an anti-correlation observed inside that census ("runs almost opposite"). Session 09 grouped dim 2 with the inventories attacked only at the frame (docs/panel-session-09.md); Ginzburg's sharpest challenge asked it be restated "as an observation about four women" (same file) — an attack on the qualifier and the admission rule, not a counter-instance. The artifact says of itself: "An inventory is a reference, not an argument" (women.html).
In the reading
- Born from catch C-02: the reference maps followed two men, and the women appeared as an arm, a glimpse, a letter. Collected against the 1922 text (sources/), hours from base document 03. — /reference/day/
Sources
- The 1922 text of Ulysses (public domain; Project Gutenberg #4300) — every appearance quoted verbatim from it.
- Base document 03, the itinerary, for the day's clock.
Confidence
Income, mobility and interiority are filled from the text only; where the text is silent, the entry says so, and inferred facts are marked [inferred] (anchor A5). A3 states are strictly kept. Every quote was adversarially verified against the 1922 text; the corrections are disclosed in the artifact's caveats.
