The Secret Goblin Archive of transmission

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified transmission as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

The goblins have long maintained that transmission is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of transmission, and never once regretted the exchange.

The edge Question, Restated

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

The Goblin Council's working group on transmission 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.
