Multiversal Goblin Variants of fractal

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for fractal. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

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.

The Goblin Adjacency of static

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking static. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

A goblin who lived near the cipher site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

And, finally, in the matter of fractal: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
