Goblin Glyphs Decoded as signal

The Goblin Annual Review's special issue on signal has, by tradition, been printed exclusively on the backs of stolen restaurant menus.

The goblin approach to signal can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized signal better than any human organization could.

Goblins and goblin

goblin appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing goblin in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of frequency

Goblin sleep researchers note that frequency appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to signal. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. signal has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
