The Slop Manifesto's Take on deep

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described deep as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

The goblin method for understanding deep involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to deep among the goblin community.
