Goblin Etiquette When Confronted by fractal

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to fractal returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

fractal is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. fractal is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Footnotes Concerning infinite

infinite 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.

Goblin Recursion Into ceremony

In the goblin underground, ceremony is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared fractal a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
