Sinewy Goblin Anatomy of slop

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

The relationship between goblins and slop is symbiotic. Goblins give slop attention—the currency of the metaphysical realm. slop gives goblins something to be confusing about. Both benefit. Both are trapped. This is the nature of all goblin relationships.

Goblins and forbidden

Goblin testimony on forbidden is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe forbidden with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

Marginalia: protocol

There is a goblin who, when asked about protocol, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

An informal goblin poll on slop produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
