⚫ | #You've used the term spiritual DNA. Every cell in our body has a complete copy of our physical DNA, and With the right tools a small sample of DNA can tell you a ton about the person it came from. Is the same true of sDNA? Could a forensic analysis of a piece of identity (e.g. left in a metalmind or an awakened object) paint a complete picture of the user's origins and/or spiritweb? Do such tools exist in the Cosmere? |

##thought process:You've told us that twinborn, for example, get particular perks, while mistborn/full-feruchemists get the full power but no Resonances. Are intents loosely analogous to the Resonances in this way? |

− | #Miles Hundred lives had access to unlimited healing, which works by matching your physical still to your spiritual self (as filtered by the cognitive). But through allomantic gold he also has access to at least one alternate version of himself. If he wanted to, could he use that "healing" process to truly become those other selves? |

+ | #Did Taln actually break at the same time as the Everstorm's arrival? Is there a causal relationship there? Could either have happened without the other? |

− | #The Everstorm doesn't seem to require Fused in any way. Could it have been summoned prior to Taln breaking? |
||
− | #You've suggested that Radiants in general, and Kaladin specifically, are immune to / protected from the Thrill, but that is not at all Dalinar's experience in OB. Is he an exception due to his past, or have we misconstrued those earlier hints? Similarly, is to Shallan's apparent susceptibility to Ashertmarn and affinity to Re-Shephir a function more of her personal history or her Radiance as a Lightweaver? |

#The Stormfather learns about humanity via his bond with Dalinar, but he had been bonded to other KRs in the past, so wouldn't he have learned from those experiences too? Did he lose that insight every time a bondsmith died, or only after the recreance? The same reasoning should apply to the Nightwatcher, who clearly has trouble understanding people. |

+ | #Chiri-chiri drained the King's Drop of stormlight. Most spheres reinfused when the perpendicularity manifested, but did the King's Drop? It was inside a ship at the time, was it not? Would its infused/empty state matter for its ability to contain Nergaul? |

+ | #From what we know of the orbits of the moons, it appears that they should grow and shrink by at least 30% in apparent size as they cross the sky. This isn't mentioned by the characters, though. Have we misunderstood something or is it just not worthy of comment to them? |
