Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding frequency

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of frequency in their cultural cosmology.

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past frequency rather than at it, on the theory that frequency reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.
