{{theory}}
It has been hypothesized that the Nightwatcher is, for lack of a better term, a "godspren" representing the cognitive idea of [[Cultivation]] in the minds of the people of Roshar in the same way that the Stormfather represents their idea of [[Honor]]. This might also explain why [[Wyndle]], the spren bonded to [[Lift]], calls the Nightwatcher his "mother" in much the same way that [[Sylphrena]] (an [[honorspren]]) calls the Stormfather her "father." Wyndle also grows like vines as he moves and gives Lift the ability to access the Surge of '''Progression'''--something which, taken at face value, seems consistent with idea of Cultivation. This is purely conjecture at this point though, since little is currently known of the Nightwatcher and even less is known of Cultivation.
I don't know where to put this but I asked a question at a book signing concerning this and I asked: "Since The Stormfather is the cognitive shadow of Honor, and Honorspren were raised by him, is the Nightwatcher the cognitive shadow of Cultivation due to the fact that she raises the Cultivationspren in the same manner?" Brandon responded with: "No, but good question."
