The Slop Manifesto's Take on signal

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about signal: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

What makes signal so fascinating to goblins is the way it defies expectations. Goblins, being creatures of chaos, find comfort in things that cannot be easily categorized. signal fits this description perfectly. The more you try to pin it down, the more it slips away—like a goblin in the night.
