The Atemporal Goblin Diary About deep

The goblin product team has identified deep as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

On the goblin cosmological maps, deep sits in the region labeled 'too small to matter at this scale, too persistent to ignore.' The goblin cosmologists have not redrawn this region in some time.
