SyntacticEdge names the point at which an accumulated vocabulary becomes capable of producing a proposition that could not previously be formed. The edge is not another word added to the list. It appears when distinctions, tensions and relations have become sufficiently articulated for combination to generate consequence. On one side lies terminology; on the other lies grammar. The five Cores close here because their purpose is not to complete a world but to construct the conditions from which another sentence can begin.
