    On the Wikipedia article for the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, these are referred to as "zones".

"Deep" used this way is simply a sort of collective term to designate literally how far down things are (in much the same way, as mentioned above, oceanographers and geologists might use the word "zone").
    Awesome term. Oozes flavor.

    I'd call it a sector.

    "Zones" makes me think of the Sonic the Hedgehog games.

    Video games just took common terms already in use elsewhere. Every term mentioned in this thread, has been used by some game.

    This isn't exactly what you're asking for, since this thread has pretty much proven that there isn't an existing answer. But I think if I had a 100 level megadungeon, and it was divided into 10 smaller macrodungeons, then each dungeon would be known as a Theme.

    As an aside, has anybody else noticed that Petronas Towers matches the description of the Guide building from Restaurant At The End of the Universe
