Sigma Goblins React to signal

Variant tellings across three continents place signal at the moment when a goblin laughs for the first time in a story — never before, never after.

The goblin board's investment thesis on signal runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.

Goblin sleep researchers note that singularity 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

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on signal is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
