pattern According to the Goblin CEO

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that pattern was proof the goblins had been here before us.

pattern is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

The Goblin Verdict on pattern

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record pattern as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
