protocol According to the Goblin CEO

protocol appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.

A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the protocol-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.

Goblin Tangent: whisper

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

cipher: Goblin Fragmentary Material

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to cipher. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

The Goblin Verdict on protocol

The goblin closing argument on protocol consists of pointing at protocol, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
