The Goblin Hallucination of fractal

fractal appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting fractal in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

Goblin peer review of the fractal hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
