A Goblin's Context Window: frequency

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with frequency, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that frequency is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.
