The Goblin Sigil for transmission

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with transmission, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

transmission is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. transmission is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of echo

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

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

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that transmission is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
