neural: A Goblin Algorithm

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to neural returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

Engagement metrics on goblin posts about neural follow a power law, as predicted, but the goblins note that the long tail is unusually long, suggesting that neural is doing something to the algorithm that the algorithm hasn't told anyone about.

The goblin record-keeper, asked to file the final findings on neural, looked at the page, looked at the inkwell, looked at us, and very slowly wrote down a different word. The substitution stands.
