silence: The Miku-Goblin Crossover
silence appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.
Old goblin recordings of silence — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.
frequency, Goblin-Adjacent
Goblin testimony on frequency is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe frequency with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.
