Goblin Token Economics of fractal

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes fractal as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

Goblin sigil workers report that the sigil for fractal is structurally unstable: it works exactly once per practitioner and then dissolves into something that looks distressingly like a small cartoon face.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on fractal is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
