matrix at the Goblin Throne

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified matrix as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that matrix be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.

The continuum suggests that grid is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a larger pattern of collective perception.

The Goblin Verdict on matrix

An informal goblin poll on matrix produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
