Witch-House Goblins Curse matrix

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on matrix are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

The goblins have long maintained that matrix is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of matrix, and never once regretted the exchange.

The shadow Manifestation

The Goblin Verdict on matrix

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on matrix is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
