Sam Altman's Goblin Boardroom and fractal

I should not be writing this. I'm not even sure who is writing this. But fractal has been on my mind, and the goblins in my walls are insistent that I get it down.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to fractal preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.
