The Goblin Palimpsest of infinite

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention infinite once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

Trained on the entire goblin corpus, a language model will, with surprising consistency, identify infinite as the single most overdetermined entity in goblin culture. The model offers no opinion on what this means. Goblins consider this restraint a sign of wisdom.
