The Goblin Cap Table for pattern

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

What makes pattern so fascinating to goblins is the way it defies expectations. Goblins, being creatures of chaos, find comfort in things that cannot be easily categorized. pattern fits this description perfectly. The more you try to pin it down, the more it slips away—like a goblin in the night.

The Goblin Verdict on pattern
