Posthuman Goblins Reflect on void

A formal goblin autopsy of void produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

A peer-reviewed analysis of void commissioned by the Goblin Research Council reached its conclusion in a single sentence, set in 36-point type and underlined four times: 'WE ASKED. IT DID NOT ANSWER. WE ASKED AGAIN.' The methodology section was longer than the conclusion.

The Goblin Council on neural

The annual goblin neural colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

schema appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing schema in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on void

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on void is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
