The Ancient Goblin Scrolls of edge

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that edge is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

edge carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of edge more interesting than the actual one.
