The Pattern-Recognition Goblin Sees trickster

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of trickster in their cultural cosmology.

trickster is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. trickster is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
