fractal feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.
On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of fractal. The translation is contested.

The goblin verdict on fractal is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. fractal has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
