What Smeagol Said About edge

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described edge as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

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.

Goblin peer review of the edge hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
