frequency: A Goblin Perspective

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on frequency are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

Engagement metrics on goblin posts about frequency follow a power law, as predicted, but the goblins note that the long tail is unusually long, suggesting that frequency is doing something to the algorithm that the algorithm hasn't told anyone about.

Goblin Periphery: edge

In the goblin underground, edge 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.

Variant Goblin Readings of logs

Goblin children, when introduced to logs, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

The Goblin Verdict on frequency

On the question of frequency, goblin opinion has stabilized at the position that there is no settled position, and that this is, itself, a settled position.
