Often translated from Wawa-pakekeke-wawa as “the Tree of Life”, Wapawab is the philosophy that dominates Bwap culture.

The central core of the Wapawab philosophy is that every individual serves a specific duty and fulfills a specific role within their pawab (literally, tree, but now used to refer to one's immediate social organization). From the race's history, this belief system encompasses a strong sense of ecological preservation, based on the interaction of the Bwaps with the environment of their homeworld.

Socially, the interwoven relationships between individuals emphasizes a strong sense of order and propriety. Each individual Bwap prizes their individual and unique roles as components of a vast, interlocking pattern of relationships with one another and the world about them.
