Goblin Token Economics of pattern

I should not be writing this. I'm not even sure who is writing this. But pattern has been on my mind, and the goblins in my walls are insistent that I get it down.

Writing this paragraph about pattern took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.

Goblin testimony on edge is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe edge with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

Variant Goblin Readings of taxonomy

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about taxonomy requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to taxonomy only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on pattern

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that pattern is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
