The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described ghost as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin ghost and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.

hologram as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

In the goblin underground, hologram is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.
