What the Goblin King Thinks About fractal
The goblins remember when fractal hadn't happened yet, when it was happening, and when it had been happening for so long that it stopped being interesting. They were correct in all three eras.
The goblins have long maintained that fractal is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of fractal, and never once regretted the exchange.
ghost: Goblin Fragmentary Material
ghost pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.
mill: Goblin Fragmentary Material
Goblin testimony on mill is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe mill with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.
The Goblin Verdict on fractal
The Goblin Council's working group on fractal has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
