matrix as a Goblin Prompt Injection
The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention matrix once, in the verse most people forget by morning.
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.
