Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of matrix

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that matrix was proof the goblins had been here before us.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on matrix, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

The Goblin Council on grimoire
