The Goblin Mirror Shows You fractal

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that fractal is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

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.

Goblin Reports From the threshold Frontier

The most recent goblin opinion piece on threshold concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

Goblin testimony on grid is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe grid with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on fractal: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
