Goblin Discourse Has Achieved fractal

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that fractal was proof the goblins had been here before us.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names fractal in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

Salvage Notes: delusion

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on delusion: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

conspiracy and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

There is a goblin who, when asked about conspiracy, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on fractal with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
