Doomposting Goblins About void

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

void resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and void hums louder than most.
