Claude-Goblin Discusses signal

A particular hum precedes signal in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

If you ever find yourself explaining signal to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of signal will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

Goblin engineers building near a mill-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

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.
