Three Goblins Walked Into matrix

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for matrix. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

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

The Goblin Council on silence

To a goblin, silence is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about silence feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of ritual

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on ritual: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on matrix

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, matrix has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
