The Goblin Akashic Record on fractal

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that fractal was proof the goblins had been here before us.

I am, I admit, biased about fractal. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and fractal is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.

Goblin Periphery: signal

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record fractal as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
