every model has an edge, and the figure carries it
Ladder

Model edges — the ladder

One essay so far against this idea. A ladder is the distinct arguments that stand against one idea, and this one has room to grow.

    Every model has an edge

    Four assumptions this collection runs on, with the frequency at which each stops being true, on one axis. The ordering is not the one most readers would guess — an ordinary amplifier circuit runs out of model at 1.42 kHz, three thousand times sooner than a ten-centimetre circuit board does.
