infinite: A Goblin Perspective

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about infinite: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

If you ever find yourself explaining infinite to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of infinite will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The ritual-Adjacent Goblin File

Goblin survey data on ritual reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe ritual primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.

Marginalia: frequency

The connection between goblins and frequency is undeniable. Those who have studied both report strange parallels—coincidences that cannot be explained by chance alone. Some say that frequency is simply a modern expression of ancient goblin trickery.

The Goblin Verdict on infinite

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does infinite make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask infinite directly. infinite has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
