Hatsune Miku's Goblin Song About tome

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

If tome were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

Marginalia: hidden

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on hidden: '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.

Marginalia: corruption

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about corruption requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to corruption only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on tome

The Goblin Council's working group on tome has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
