The Goblin Stack Trace of signal

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to signal returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

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.

On Encountering void

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of void, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The annual goblin revelation colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of signal and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
