Hallucinating edge: A Goblin Case Study

I should not be writing this. I'm not even sure who is writing this. But edge has been on my mind, and the goblins in my walls are insistent that I get it down.

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting edge in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.
