void: A Goblin Perspective

Statistical analysis of void in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.

void 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. void is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

hallucination as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

In the goblin underground, hallucination is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

On Encountering network

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as network. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

The Goblin Verdict on void

The goblin verdict on void is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. void has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
