The infinite Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)

The academic consensus on infinite is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.

infinite is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. infinite is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

slop as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

There is a goblin who, when asked about slop, 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.

Variant Goblin Readings of ritual

Goblin oral history places ritual 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 ritual is on it.
