lost Is Watching You: A Goblin Field Report

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described lost as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

lost 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. lost is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
