Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of fractal

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified fractal as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to fractal preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

Goblins and ghost

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as ghost. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of conspiracy, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of fractal and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
