Goblin Glyphs Decoded as void

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that void is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

When you stare at void long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of void developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

Salvage Notes: threshold

To a goblin, threshold 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 threshold feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of transmission

To a goblin, transmission 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 transmission feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on void

The goblin closing argument on void consists of pointing at void, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
