Mirkwood Goblin Accounts of fractal

Late-period goblin vaporwave producers loop the audio fingerprint of fractal at 0.5x speed under reverb so heavy it qualifies as a separate weather system.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day fractal was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.

The Goblin Council on static

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about static. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Adjacency of taxonomy

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

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on fractal is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
