fractal as the Goblin Big Bang

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

fractal carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of fractal more interesting than the actual one.
