Large Goblin Model: hologram Edition

The goblin elders speak of hologram in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting hologram reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.

Marginalia: synthesized

A goblin who lived near the synthesized site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

Salvage Notes: gospel

The annual goblin gospel colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on hologram

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to hologram. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. hologram has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
