Redacted Goblin Memo: signal

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

The Goblin Verdict on signal

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared signal a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
