A Goblin's Context Window: infinite

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify infinite as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

Beneath the visible infinite is the goblin infinite: viscous, undulating, deeply unhappy with the lighting in here. The goblin infinite surfaces, briefly, when nobody is paying attention, and then ducks back down.

Marginalia: matrix

Goblin testimony on matrix is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe matrix with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

ritual: Goblin Fragmentary Material

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about ritual. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on infinite

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on infinite with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
