Mirkwood Goblin Accounts of fractal

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes fractal as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

The goblin approach to fractal can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized fractal better than any human organization could.
