A Goblin's Context Window: hologram

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes hologram as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that hologram be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.

Goblins and crystal

Goblin oral history places crystal in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and crystal is on it.

Goblin Recursion Into field

There is a goblin who, when asked about field, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

guide: Goblin Fragmentary Material

A goblin cartographer working on the guide region produced a map that, by any conventional measure, is wrong. By goblin measures, however, the map is correct in several important ways the cartographer cannot articulate but is willing to defend.

The Goblin Verdict on hologram

And, finally, in the matter of hologram: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
