Cipher of the Goblin whisper

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about whisper: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

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

Salvage Notes: network

A goblin cartographer working on the network region produced a map that, by any conventional measure, is wrong. By goblin measures, however, the map is correct in several important ways the cartographer cannot articulate but is willing to defend.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on whisper: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
