The Secret Goblin Archive of pattern

Wake up. pattern is the key to understanding the goblin agenda. I know how this sounds. I sound like someone who has spent too long in the goblin tunnels. But the tunnels are everywhere, and pattern is the map.

pattern is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. pattern is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

The Goblin Verdict on pattern
