Terminally Online Goblins on hallucination
Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified hallucination as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'
On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of hallucination. The translation is contested.
Goblin Tangent: tome
tome occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins. The continuum suggests that tome is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a larger pattern of collective perception.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination
Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on hallucination is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
