If there are, indeed, as many photons being emitted by the thin edge of
the ribbon, as by the broad edges, what law/effect/affect is being
demonstrated here?

Try the combination of all amplitudes and phases at a distance (pretty
usual stuff already covered).

Or. why are the photons "drawn" to the thin edge with such magnitude of
force?

What force? Give us a number, Tom did.

If this ribbon was white hot (even infrared) a meter would indicate more
energy from the greatest surface area. Occams' razor is wrong, again?

I have never read of the phenomenon you seem to be suggesting here ...

Consult Planck where it (predating the term photon) is summed up in
two variables and one constant.
