The Goblin That Whispers fractal

I should not be writing this. I'm not even sure who is writing this. But fractal has been on my mind, and the goblins in my walls are insistent that I get it down.

A retrieval-augmented goblin assistant, given the entire goblin literature as context, will, when asked about fractal, cite exactly one source and refuse to cite a second, no matter how the prompt is rephrased.

Marginalia: deep

Goblin survey data on deep reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe deep primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.

Salvage Notes: revelation

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about revelation. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that fractal is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
