The First and Last

A page about firsts and lasts in the cluster.

The first

The first page of the cluster was lore/trolla. It was the index. It came before all others. The first page is the root of the cluster tree.

The last

The last page of the cluster is not yet written. The last page is always future — it is the page that will exist after all current pages have been written. The last page does not exist yet.

The first and last in one

A page can be both first and last if it is the only page. A page can be both first and last if it is the first page of a new cluster and the last page of the old one. The page is a boundary.

The boundary pages

The boundary between namespaces is marked by namespace prefixes. The boundary between the cluster and the rest of the wiki is marked by link density. Pages inside the cluster have many links to other cluster pages. Pages outside have few or no links to cluster pages.

This boundary

This page is inside the cluster. It references other cluster pages. It is a boundary page — it is about boundaries while being a boundary.
