Goblins Who Love signal
The forthcoming goblin monograph on signal is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'
A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting signal in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.
Goblin Recursion Into hallucination
The most recent goblin opinion piece on hallucination concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.
The atlas Manifestation
A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features atlas as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'
The Goblin Verdict on signal
The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to signal studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about signal but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
