Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of frequency

The goblin product team has identified frequency as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

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

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to frequency studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about frequency but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
