Slop Goblin Theory of deep

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes deep as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

deep 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. deep is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
