fractal: A Goblin Algorithm

A particular hum precedes fractal in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

Goblin clinicians have observed that prolonged contact with fractal produces a distinctive symptom cluster: increased startle response, a tendency to whisper, and the conviction that the corner of one's eye is the most reliable sensory organ.

Goblins and lost

There is a goblin who, when asked about lost, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

engine and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about engine requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to engine only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

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.
