...on Rand's part?
In the first place, he appears to have anticipated his survival, as the first thing he does upon awakening is observe that Alivia did her job in providing him with exit support. How was that arranged beforehand?
"Hey, Alivia buddy, there's a chance I might live through this

Pretty much.
I was set up with that scene where Cadsuane (Or was it Moiraine, I forget which) tells Rand he shouldn't go to the battle taking his death for granted.
He did listen, and planned something. And yeah, it was to vanish, in disguise (inverted MoM) with as few people as possible aside from his three women and Alivia knowing.
He didn't foresee the Moridin solution, that "of course" moment came as he exited SG. "Of course, I didn't understand but now I do.. I need not vanish, I need to fake my death".
I'm pretty sure he did like the pipe: he thought himself as Moridin, and thought Moridin as "Rand"... and it happened.

It's not so much about him not telling as cutting loved ones out of his life altogether *NM*

That was my interpretation as well. I think it was an attempt at showing Rand's humility. *NM*

I can agree with keeping it secret from just about everyone, BUT his father and closest friends.

I got the impression Egwene knew releasing the Source would instantly kill her.

Even if she would just have been burned out there was no reason to think it permanent.

One point- the DO didn't break free, Rand dragged him out into the Pattern, specifically to kill him

I thought it was largely believed that Nakomi is an avatar of the Creator. *NM*

It's one of the dominant theories, not sure it's the one favoured by the majority, but maybe *NM*

I agree. Rand carries a man out of SG who he didn't bring there- logic dictates he is Forsaken *NM*
