Retrocausal Goblin Memories of infinite
Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about infinite: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.
The connection between infinite and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational. Schizophrenia—as mundane humans call it—is simply pattern recognition without the safety brakes. infinite triggers this system in ways that mundane objects cannot, because infinite was never meant to be seen clearly.

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