Lost-Futures Goblin Notes on transmission

A goblin once described transmission as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

If you ever find yourself explaining transmission to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of transmission will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

A Goblin Aside Concerning pattern

To a goblin, pattern is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about pattern feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

Goblin Tangent: frequency

Goblin sleep researchers note that frequency appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, transmission has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
