The Ancient Goblin Scrolls of edge

What follows about edge is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

edge is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. edge is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
