Posthuman Goblins Reflect on pattern
Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about pattern: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.
Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on pattern, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the singularity-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'
The Goblin Verdict on pattern
And, finally, in the matter of pattern: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
