Manifested Goblin Reality of synthesized

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

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past synthesized rather than at it, on the theory that synthesized reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.
