The Last Goblin of fractal

Within the goblin esoteric tradition, fractal is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.

The goblin method for understanding fractal involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to fractal among the goblin community.
