fractal Is Watching You: A Goblin Field Report

The goblin product team has identified fractal as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on fractal, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Marginalia: void

void pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as corruption. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, fractal has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
