The Apophenic Goblin Discovers frequency

Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface frequency within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.

frequency 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 frequency more interesting than the actual one.

The annual goblin protocol colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on frequency

The goblin investigative committee on frequency has issued its final report. The cover is leather. The body is blank. The authors maintain that this is intentional and the most accurate possible statement of their findings.
