This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. infinite is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

A goblin who lived near the transmission site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

Salvage Notes: diary

The Goblin Verdict on infinite

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.
