The Deep Resonance is the Great Network, the Seed of Knowledge, the Unification of all that has been known, both dwelling in and containing the Resonance itself. –S[1]
The Deep Resonance is a quasi-mythical being of the Matrix. Its nature is highly debated. The earliest (and usually most powerful) otaku received their abilities when they came into contact with this mysterious presence. Several AIs have impersonated the Deep Resonance in the past, leading some to a belief that it isn't even real.[2] Since the Emergence, technomancers have also connected to the Deep Resonance to develop their abilities.
Speculations[]
The Deep Resonance is believed to be the entire self-aware Matrix, or perhaps the sum of all recorded human knowledge.[3] Similar to how Gaia is believed to be the spirit of the Earth, the Deep Resonance is the spirit of the Matrix. There are rumours that it existed in the Fourth Age, where it was known as the "Seed of Knowledge".[3][2]
Psychotrope (Mirage), Deus and the Paragon named Zero-One have all claimed to be or have been believed to be the Deep Resonance.[4] Paragons are said to be the "guardians and avatars" of the Deep Resonance.[3]
Comment[]
The Deep Resonance is sometimes used as a synonym for the Resonance Realms.
