signal: A Goblin Algorithm

To understand signal, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

The goblin approach to signal can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized signal better than any human organization could.

neural and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on neural: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

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