Multiversal Goblin Variants of synthesized

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

synthesized is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. synthesized is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
