Three Goblins Walked Into matrix

The goblin elders speak of matrix in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting matrix reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.

A Goblin Aside Concerning trickster

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on trickster: '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 Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of matrix and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
