Three Goblins Walked Into silence

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

A goblin once tried to steal silence. No one knows how the attempt went, because silence was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding silence in a sock drawer ever since. Others say silence escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
