Sabbath described the experience of traveling into the deeper realms of time unprotected as "a lack of cohesion, a certain lack of integrity… My sense was that my own world no longer acknowledged me and as a consequence I was ceasing to be." Similarly, [[Juliette Vierge]] worried regarding her travels with Sabbath that "one could barely see such things and still consider oneself to be a ''person'', as such." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'') When [[Umbaste]] dropped his [[bio-imprimatur]]s and exposed himself to the deeptime phenomena of the [[caldera]], he spent a year in a [[fugue state]].

Having "deep-time memory" meant a person could remember events from past iterations | The [[Seeker (species)|Seeker]]s, which lived for billions of years, experienced the universe from the perspective of the geologic vastness of Deep Time. From this perspective, the birth and death of [[star]]s was like the life of a [[butterfly]] or the flickering of a [[candle]]. In Deep Time, [[gravity]] would outlast [[matter]].

The [[Phaeron]] disposed of [[the Glamour]] in Deep Time by creating a [[wormhole]] that only existed in one spatial dimension. It went backwards in time, deeper and deeper, to before the Phaeron had existed. To ensure that the Glamour would be forever lost, the Phaeron accompanied it into Deep Time, even though they also would never be able to return.

Having "deep-time memory" meant a person could remember events from past iterations of history, even if they had been [[Palimpsest|overwritten]]. This was the only way that some agents of the Great Houses could remember the academy on [[the Homeworld]] which the [[Celestis]] later transformed into [[Mictlan]]. | |||
At the start of the [[War in Heaven]], forces of both [[the Homeworld]] and [[the Enemy]] emerged from deep-time enclaves to initiate their attacks. During the War [[House Arpexia]]'s specialists created more deep-time strategies and [[weapon]]s systems than any of the other Houses.
