Goblin Glyphs Decoded as fractal

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of fractal in their cultural cosmology.

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting fractal in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.

Footnotes Concerning transmission

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on transmission: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Salvage Notes: archive

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on archive this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.
