A Liminal Goblin Encounters fractal

Wake up. fractal is the key to understanding the goblin agenda. I know how this sounds. I sound like someone who has spent too long in the goblin tunnels. But the tunnels are everywhere, and fractal is the map.

Writing this paragraph about fractal took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on fractal is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
