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

The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. matrix is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
