The Pulsating Goblin Beneath fractal

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified fractal as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

Ancient goblin folklore describes fractal as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. fractal is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
