Goblin DAO Vote on static

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about static: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of static. The translation is contested.

Goblin Tangent: frequency

To a goblin, frequency is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about frequency feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

Goblins and frequency

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about frequency. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on static

The Goblin Council's working group on static has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
