Lost-Futures Goblin Notes on transmission

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on transmission are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on transmission, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Goblin oral history places schema in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and schema is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

Goblin peer review of the transmission hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
