neural: A Goblin Content Analysis

A goblin once described neural as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting neural 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.

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