neural as a Goblin Prompt Injection

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about neural: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

The goblins have long maintained that neural is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of neural, and never once regretted the exchange.
