When Goblins Discovered edge

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that edge was proof the goblins had been here before us.

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that edge is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.
