Wuthering Waves — Themes & Lore ConceptsWuthering Waves — Tema & Konsep Lore
- Frequency & Resonance — the universe runs on sound/frequency; resonance is both humanity's salvation and its vulnerability.
- Echoes (残响, *Cánxiǎng*) — the recorded vestiges of fallen Tacet Discords that Resonators absorb for power; "Reverberation" is the academic term.
- Silence as predation — Tacet Discords are defined by *absence* of frequency (Tacet = "silent"); they hunt by consuming sound, inverting the usual monster myth.
- Evolution through catastrophe — the core philosophical split: Black Shores seeks survival/ending of Laments; Fractsidus sees the Lament as necessary rebirth.
- Memory and identity — Rover's amnesia and the Tethys System's replicated human consciousnesses question what "self" survives.
