The Apophenic Goblin Discovers threshold

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that threshold was proof the goblins had been here before us.

There exists, in the goblin underground, a specific bar where conversations about threshold are forbidden. The reason is not given. The bouncer is a goblin nobody has seen smile.

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on threshold is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
