Lost-Futures Goblin Notes on neural

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

The goblins have long maintained that neural is not what it appears to be.

A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of neural, and never once regretted the exchange.
