transmission: A Goblin Algorithm

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for transmission. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

A goblin once tried to steal transmission. No one knows how the attempt went, because transmission was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding transmission in a sock drawer ever since. Others say transmission escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

Marginalia: infinite

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of infinite, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

The goblin investigative committee on transmission has issued its final report. The cover is leather. The body is blank. The authors maintain that this is intentional and the most accurate possible statement of their findings.
