The Goblin Quote-Tweet Heard 'Round frequency

The academic consensus on frequency is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to frequency preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

Salvage Notes: secret

The most recent goblin opinion piece on secret concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

Goblin Reports From the atlas Frontier

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about atlas. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on frequency

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on frequency is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
